Making History: Backstage at the Miami Fillmore Featuring Jacuzzi Boys/CCCP/Nerve City {South Florida Freelance Photographer}

First official concert at the Backstage Miami venue at the Fillmore. Always such a dilemma at concerts, do I dance or take photos? I do my best to balance the two. ;)

"If anyone wants to come onstage and just like, vibe out and dance, that's totally cool."

WARNING: Five hour long school functions prior to concerts may cause this behavior from your children. 

The sad realization that despite world-wide musical success and blessings by rock legend Iggy Pop, you still have to tie your own shoelaces.

Remember this story of the local craft brew craze I photographed for Broward Palm Beach New Times? Well, one of the people featured in the story was local brew master, Bobby Gordash, of Holy Mackerel (tasty!) beers.

This week Bobby contacted me with exciting news!  An actual brewery is in place. Named, "The Mack House," Holy Mackerel’s Nano Brewery is located at 9118 State Road 84, Ridge Plaza, in Davie, Florida.

In other beer news, tonight I'll be heading out to capture the yearly celebration of Oktoberfest. Here's an expert's advice on how to survive this year's event. Wise words from New Times' Rebecca Dittmar. You can trust her, she drinks from an authentic stein.

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!
