Aerosmith & The Dropkick Murphys - Hometown Show

June 23rd, 2009

Aerosmith made their MA stop on their latest tour and invited Boston faves The Dropkick Murphys along to open the show.  You can check out some of my photos posted on The Boston Phoenix website here.  Aerosmith was on my short list of bands I wanted to shoot before my shooting days came to an end so it was very exciting for me!’

Nine Inch Nails, Janes Addicition & Street Sweeper Social Club

June 9th, 2009

Summer concert season is here!  Wahoo!  This is my favorite time of the year to be a concert photographer because there’s just so much going on, it’s a very exciting time!  I kicked off the season setting the bar pretty high with the NINJA tour featuring Nine Inch Nails, Janes Addiction and Street Sweeper Social Club.  I had never shot Janes before and I’m a huge Dave Navarro fan so needless to say I was a happy camper.  You can check out the full galleries here.

 

All of the landscape views are in the gallery because they don’t really fit well in my blog so please check them out!

OK Go-a-go-go

March 25th, 2009

My friends are pretty passionate about OK Go, and with good reason…they’re a great band.  I was never quite as into them as they were but I think this last tour has me hooked.  They played a bunch of East Coast shows that had us going from Brooklyn, NY to Northampton, MA to Boston, MA (okay I missed that one) and then Portland, ME…so not only did we get to see a bunch of great shows, we managed to make a road trip of it!

Check out some of the photo galleries from the show……there was a lot of confetti!  (Click a photo to go to the full gallery or check them all out here:  www.photos.theywillrockyou.com.)

All Hope Is Gone Tour

February 25th, 2009

Slipknot returned to North America to open up their All Hope Is Gone Headlining Tour, along for the ride were Coheed & Cambria and Trivium.  I shot the show on February 6th in Lowell, MA at Tsongas Arena.  Slipknot is one of my favorite bands to shoot.  Even though there is so much going on at once and it’s pretty much an assault to the senses it’s always fun and the results are usually some great shots - I’ll let you be the judge!  Click on an image to check out the full gallery or check them out here.

One word: Metallica

January 21st, 2009

I guess you could say I started the year off with a bang. Metallica - Seriously, need I say more. Metallica represents a lot of my youth to me. I still remember the day that my friend Danielle played me the Garage Days Re-Revisited cassette, that was the beginning. It was our first taste of Metallica but just the beginning. It’s kind of hard to flash forward to 20 plus years later and to be standing in a photo pit inches away from them trying to capture the moment as “Harvester of Sorrow” was reverberating through my body. I savored it. I shot the show for The Pulse Magazine. You can check out my full gallery here.
