Videos…

I take a lot of my pictures of the artists, set them to their music and make youtube videos.
Here is video I made of Band of Horses from the summer of 2007.

John Doe at Maxwells in NY August 07…

Since the early days of X, I have always been a great fan of John  Doe. He continually presents a new identity constantly. In this photoset I captured him at Maxwell’s performing his solo work with the back up band Dead Rock West. In this show John mixed solo work with classics from X. It was also a nice mixture between his rock numbers and folk pieces. He has the uncanny ability to go from hard rock tunes to searing insightful folk ballads.

Patti Smith

I have been following Patti Smith since 1978 when I first saw her on Bob Dylan’s birthday over at the old Pallidium…I was very young then…fourteen years old…I get the set list that night and I have been getting them ever since. During those times I was in private highs school with a lot of assholes who made my life hell. Patti was a way out. She represented authenticity. Her words bought me another universe.. a universe that was far realer than the one I was in. To put on Horses was to transported to this magical place. And from that time I have never lost that sensation when I hear Patti but especially when I am at her shows. Here is a video I made from shots I took of her at the Beacon back in the fall of 2007.

The ever changing face of rock…

Today stimulated by pace of technology we that rock continually is a state of flux…
