2025 BY THE NUMBERS

I started shooting concerts regularly during college at Virginia Tech in the early ’90s, and then picked it back up once touring opened again post-COVID. My main genre of interest is ’80s rock and metal, with my first longbox CD purchase ever being Winger’s self-titled debut. If you catch me at a show, you will frequently encounter my guitarist son who has similar tastes in music. \m/

About Me

I am a music photographer covering shows in Atlanta, Georgia, and the surrounding area. The oddest highlight of my career was back in the early ’90s, when I sold Neil Diamond the rights to my negatives from a show and then purchased a set of tires for my 1979 280ZX during college with the money.
