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!

This month I took the highways and byways down to Los Angeles to shoot Cobra Starship’s Hot Mess Across the US tour at the Troubadour in WeHo (that’s West Hollywood for those of you out of the know) and had a blast. Some technical difficulties kept me from shooting DJ Skeet Skeet’s set as well as The Friday Night Boys’ set, but I did catch the Audition and DJ Skeet Skeet’s timekiller interlude before Cobra took the stage. I always LOVE shooting Cobra, they always put on an amazing show and Gabe’s a total ham for the camera. It was a great show and special thanks go out to the Troubadour’s security team for keeping it real and getting me the best shots! Peace, love and fangs up!

So my new bodacious job shooting is working for FriendsOrEnemies.com shooting concerts in exchange for the passes and the access and getting published on FOE.com. It’s a really awesome setup and I love it. My first concert for FOE was shooting Believers Never Die Part Deux in San Jose, CA on April 7th featuring my friends in Hey Monday as well as Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low and tour headliners Fall Out Boy! I made a gallery for each, so check them out and let me know what you think.
