First of all this mix is too good for the masses and I really don’t even want to post it. Hmmmm.
A handful of my very favorite songs are on here and you don’t deserve them! I’m just sayin..
You don’t.
Your ears are not worthy.

So I just got back to the studio from the Slipknot concert..
Um. WOW.
I’ve been fortunate to have photographed a handful of amazing “rock” bands in the last year = Papa Roach, Seether, Staind, AC/DC, Metallica, NIN… BUT NONE of them have ANYTHING on Slipknot. Definitely one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Being situated between eagerly awaiting fans, held back by a 4 foot tall barricade, and the stage made for a tense situation. (Was that an Oxford comma?) There was about 6 feet between the stage and the wall of humans. (Chanting “6-6-6-Slipknot” By the way.) It was intermission and the fans couldn’t wait for the red curtain to drop. Honestly, I couldn’t either. It was a total rush. I didn’t know what to expect. Crowd surfers were being dropped over the barricade inches away from me. People were throwing clothes, shoes, coins, beer towards the stage. I held my position an inch away from the center mic and waited. The lights went out and everyone went insane. At that moment I thought I should grab a flick. I turned, dropped my shutter, cranked up my ISO and took one photo to hopefully document my very first Slipknot show – seen above.

All I can say is that they were incredible. I was totally surprised by my experience and I’m so grateful for it. I’d recommend all of you venture out, break out of your norm and see them perform. Because they truly did. Passion is a crazy thing. I’m always surprised when I stumble over it.

I was wondering the other day….
How long does it take for a train to stop?

are made of these….
I remember sitting in a tiny ass Park City theater about to watch “1st and Hope”. I was so excited. Just a few months before arriving in Salt Lake City for Sundance Baker pointed out the ad for this movie in a recent issue of COMPLEX. I immediately checked to see if the movie was going to be featured at the

It was my first trip to Little Rock. I was there for two days and from what I saw of the Hotel, (our make shift studio), it’s a fantastic place. I hope to go back soon and get to see downtown or the river or something…

I had to do something. After almost a month and a half of excruciatingly bad headaches I did some research. The source = My eyeballs. The reason = Straining. Which caused this gnarly pain that shot from the back of my eyes to the base of my brain hole.

Oh my god…… I can’t believe it…… Am I dreaming?
Let me preface this by saying: The best systems out there are MACs – NO question about it. However, when it comes to any user interface, the developers at google are so far ahead it’s insane.. In time, I predict there will be free google operating systems for both PC and Macs.
