The Bamboozle Road Show was nothing short of amazing for me! I got to FINALLY meet Scott who I’ve been working with on different projects on and off for almost two years now (holla OG Hey Monday street team what what?) It was also an incredibly nostalgic show for me with Good Charlotte and Third Eye Blind taking me back to my freshman year of college and earlier. It was really intense and made me miss a lot of people back home and back in New York who I’ve lost touch with or haven’t seen in year(s). It was an awesome show from Drive-A (whose pit time I missed because of ticketing snafus) to The Ready Set (whose pictures I will be posting later, I covered BRS for Decaydance and I want to give them the opportunity to use the pictures before I post them on here, but fear not LOTS of pics of The Ready Set, fosho!) and Jordan was phenomenal. It was my first time seeing him live and it was cool to really see his passion on stage. I got to shoot FTSK for the first time and their set was great, it’s always awesome to see bands grow from the last time you saw them (it’s been a year and a half for me, saw them first on the SassyBack tour!) and FTSK has done nothing short of grow and grow since then! It was also great as always to see ATL and Boys Like Girls again and mad props to the crowd for being really respectful for the two medical emergencies that forced a pause in both of their sets. Without further ado, here are the pics! (Apologies for the dim pics for ATL and BLG i don’t know what happened there, enjoy, though!)

Heading out to the Epicentre in SD to see The Material tonight! Will I see any of you there?
Back in October I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot two of the OP tour shows, one for myself and one for Friends or Enemies. The show in LA was the one I shot for friends or enemies and with a busy November and December behind us, the pictures are finally up on FOE so here they are! It was great getting to shoot all of these bands again and none of them failed to deliver. It was also a blast at the show getting to hang out with all the bands and talk shop with a few of them. Pete Wentz made a special guest appearance with Cobra Starship for “Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We’re Famous” during the photographers’ pit time, which was a blast, as always. Enjoy and let me know what you think! Also, don’t forget all of these can be requested for prints and bands if you want to use any of these, feel free to shoot me an email here!

It was a slow September for music, but still busy for me with school, but it’s great to be back in the pit again this month and for the next few weeks bringing you show after show. First up is the Ocean Pacific Presents… tour featuring VersaEmerge, A Rocket To The Moon, The Maine, Cobra Starship and Boys Like Girls! It was my first time shooting all of the bands except Cobra Starship but they all put on an amazing show and really pulled out all the stops. I hope you guys enjoy these as much as I enjoyed being up in San Francisco at the gorgeous Warfield Theatre shooting this show. On a post-production note, I picked up the Lightroom Presets that Chris Martin put out (linked below) and tried them out on some of these pictures and was really impressed with the results. If you use Lightroom, check them out. It’s a great deal for what you get!

(Extra special thank you to Ozone Management for helping me out with this one. Rohan is the shiz, I’m just sayin’ :D) See you all at shows this fall, which ones will you be at?
