Hey folks, been a while since I’ve written to the industry and about the industry and I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone that’s helped me out, helping make my little blog what it is. I mostly have no flow, and I just generally write what I want to write. My real passion is taking photos, and I’ve been slow at uploading them…something I’ve been trying to change, the most recent one’s are on my Instagram linked below. I probably would have a lot more followers by now if I kept up on posts and what not, but that’s not what my blog’s been about. It’s always been about Rock ‘n’ Roll and telling the story of Rock ‘n’ Roll in its many beautiful forms and a few deviations here and there. For the last several years, I’ve been caught up in technical perfection and obsession of my work and photos. As creatives, it’s something we care deeply about. I think a lot of you reading this will understand, but there’s a larger picture here I’ve been missing. You see? I’m just an awkward 30 year old living in a college dorm, finally almost done with my undergrad, doing my best trying to figure out life for the next few years.
My passion has always been taking photos. I hope to continue taking photos and telling the story of music and Rock ‘n’ Roll for the next generation. The generation, that argues with their parents over an album cover. Or help those who are bullied for being that outcast among their peers. When my grandfather passed away, I bought my first camera with some of the money he left me and my second one a few years later. Of course, this blog wouldn’t be were it was today without my mentor in this business The Hellion Rocks. I owe so much to him and the rest of those who have helped pay it forward. If my photos make one band member happy, or lead one person to a healthier, more fulfilling life in realizing that they look awesome on stage. Then I will have succeeded. This blog has always been more for the musicians that I love but it’s also for everyone. I hope to continue this blog. To so many who put up with me, from the publicist, to the bands and to my friends and fans. From the bottom of my heart, this is a deep thank you. I’m still a little rough around the edges, probably annoying and definitely stubborn but know that when I reach out to you, it’s because I believe in what you’re doing and your goal. For the labels that have reached out to me, publicist that encourage me you all fill me with joy. I am far from a perfect person, but my hope is that this work continues to make people happy.
