Any New Found Glory fans out there? They just posted a 30 minute concert from their 2018 tour. It's almost like being at a real concert again. I've watched it three times already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxJ0rMibxsA

For me the most powerful element and principle of design/art is Time. When I was in school and learned that time was one I kind of brused it off. But time is an amazing tool and element of art. For me I never really liked the song 'All Too Well' by Taylor. It never resinanted with me and there were so many other great songs by her I never gave it a chance. Until about a year ago that changed... Many years after it's release. Now it's one of my favorite songs and I'm catching up on lost time and have put it on every playlist I create. Time it's a sneaky and power element.

I think this is one of my top 5 favorite photos. From a Taking Back Sunday show when they played the Taste of Chaos Tour

The Black Keys

What are 3-5 of your favorite artists and musicians? I'd love to share more photos of the artists you like the most?

I was lined up to photograph Third Eye Blind the night all events over 250 people were restricted. It was the right choice but it is amazing how it all lined up on the same day. Can't wait for the day that concerts can be a regular thing again

The Maine One of those bands I've listened to from the start and continueally impressed with how much their music has matured over the years. Still love their first album. In fact some of my top 5 favorite songs are from their first album. But their recent work has been incredible. Keep it up boys!

Tove Lo! So grateful for the few concerts I got to sneak into 2020. This was one of the top 3 for sure.

Kolars! If you have never heard of them or seen them live. Please check go stream them now and go see then in concert (when that is allowed again). You surly won't be disappointed. Two people. Guitar and drums! So simple, So perfect!

I miss photographing concerts. I've gone longer between not photographing a concert before but this spring and summer had so many awesome shows to look forward too. Here is the last concert I photographed. Saint Motel. On the night Washington banned all events with 250 people or more I was supposed to photograph Third Eye Blind. That wasone day away from being the last concert I photographed.

Fog Machine gun is always a great idea to level up your stage production. Also cools down the crowd and kind of makes it feel and look like it is snowing.

I’ve photographed both the 1989 Tour and Reputation tour but I still think I’d trade in having photographed both of those tours to have been able to photograph the just the Red tour. There is something special about that tour from a production, lighting, wardrobe, and music perspective that is so one of kind.

Super popular back when 2002-2003 when they sony was in the movie 'A Walk To Remember'. Everyone knows their song "Dare You To Move" and "Meant to Live". But they have consistently released so much new music since then and continue to let out better music with every record. Switchfoot is one of the most underated bands today. Their live shows are in my top 5 (probably top 3). Next time you see Switchfoot is coming through your town. Buy a ticket for you and a freind. You won't regret it. I promise!

No artists should ever be told by someone else that they can't use the art they created. When someone uses their own creative soul to create art part of their soul remains with that art forever. It should never be another person dictating how another artists art can be used. What Taylor is doing by trying to protect and regain control of her art is something that will affect artists years from now. It's not just about music. It's all art. Protect the art and it's artists Taylor!

If you have not heard or listened to Poppy yet go to Youtube and give it a listen. It won't be like anything you've heard before.

When the smoke begins to clear...

Tonight Alive at Warped Tour back in 2016. Wish Warped Tour festival was still around today. Love the action in lead singer Jenna McDougall. Such a great front woman for the band!
