GK tour in San Francisco was off the hook. I got to spend some great time with those kids from Hey Monday, hang with my fellow photographer Amy Wolff and my “boss” Justin of SupJustin.com. Good hangs and an even better show. The views from the balcony at the Regency are phenomenal and security was amazing. The show was phenomenal and everyone killed it—the girls in the crowd set a new bra-toss record of 75 bras thrown on stage during All Time Low’s set and we photographers in the pit were even showered with underwear! Definitely an experience that tops all of the shows that I’ve shot so far. I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I enjoyed shooting them!
Glamour Kills in Anaheim was great because it was my first time finally getting to shoot in the House of Blues, which was great despite some hitches (Duncan Johnson > Everything, just so you know). I had a blast shooting it and got to shoot with some friends from the pit at past shows (check out Kayla Merrill if you ever get the chance, another fantastic So Cal shooter for Friends or Enemies). Great performances by Friday Night Boys, Hey Monday and We The Kings as well as headliners All Time Low. Great shooting all of these guys again and also getting to shoot WTK for the first time as a whole.

This image has been affectionately nicknamed “Soul Stare” by friends of mine. It will be featured in the December Grad Gallery at Brooks here in Santa Barbara through February. Exciting stuff :D

Note: Jersey is one of my single favorite people to shoot on stage. Boy makes the best faces at me when I’m in the pit. ♥

So I followed the Glamour Kills tour around California a few weeks ago and between then and now I’ve been sick twice, worked on (and passed!) my portfolio for grad review, submitted images to grad gallery, worked black friday weekend in retail and made various submissions to a few different things. Now I’ve finally had time to fine tune the galleries for Glamour Kills but before I post them, I’m gonna cue up some teasers of MY favorite images before throwing up the galleries.
And don’t forget holidays are around the corner and what fan wouldn’t love an epic print of their favorite band this Christmukkwanzaa season? ;) (*coughonlinestorecough*) So enjoy some shots from GK, galleries up soon!
