music photography
images that weigh in on grit and character…
♠ Live music can be an intoxicating, distorted, and dizzying event. It is a loud yet soft and laser-focused experience; I feel the same way about listening to it. The photography is an art form and a precarious craft. The fickle business of catching sparks and the painstaking task of shaking it all loose from the walls of a little black box.
