South Florida Concert Photography: Behind the Scenes with Kishi Bashi/of Montreal Part I

Last weekend I had quite a busy schedule. Four concerts in a row that included driving from Miami Beach to Orlando. Just wanted to share those links for those trying to keep up. :)

Wednesday, March 7- Hank III at the Culture Room in Ft Lauderdale for Salty Eggs.
Thursday, March 8- Kishi Bashi/of Montreal at the Plaza Live, Orlando.
Friday, March 9- Jacuzzi Boys, Love Handles, and Honey Train at the Snooze Theatre for Broward Palm Beach New Times.
Saturday, March 10- Jacuzzi Boys at Churchill's for Salty Eggs.

Since the Kishi Bashi/of Montreal show was a personal project, I've yet to process all of the images. Work has a way of coming before fun. :) But I know K has a few shows coming up tomorrow (Friday) at SXSW so I figured I'd put a few together as some can't make it to the festival, and those who are there need this schedule!

Backstage

Great to see the audience singing along!

David and Clayton from of Montreal. Touring is rough. It's good to have people around that you know will scratch your back.

More photos when I get a chance...in the meantime, look up Kishi Bashi and the oM crew if you're in Austin!! OR check out these photos from the last time oM came through South Florida.

South Florida Concert Photography: Great News!

Just got official word that I'm going to be published in the Netherlands! Muziekkrant OOR Magazine is the oldest currently published music magazine in the Netherlands. As a leading resource to everything happening worldwide in music, I am honored to be published in their glossy monthly.

Especially intriguing to me is that legendary photographer, Anton Corbijn actively works for the magazine. Who is Anton, you ask? While his contributions as an artist are vast, for me what comes to mind are the iconic images for, U2's The Joshua Tree, and Achtung Baby , R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, and Losing my Religion, and of course this little video here:



(Speaking of Nirvana, check out some photos I did this weekend with photos of a Nirvana cover band, "Teenage Angst" for brand new blog, Salty Eggs!)

I'll let you know more about images when I know what the editor's final selections are. For now, I just wanted to share the excitement of the news!

Tonight, the concert photography continues at Propaganda for Broward Palm Beach New Times.

Cheers!

Palm Beach County Art Photographer

I was recently asked to photograph the sculpture of Palm Beach artist, Donald Perez. Donald is the director of the V.S.A. Program which is an amazing non-profit for the county that offers art classes for students with physical and learning disabilities. I'm honored to know Donald as this program has been a great resource to Palm Beach County, and has offered me an opportunity to share my photography knowledge through teaching.

Donald was invited to exhibit his art at his Alma Mater. He needed a professional photograph for the exhibition catalog so he came to my Abacoa studio and this is what we came up with.

Congrats on the show, Donald!
