Sooo despite my lack of skills when it comes to writing, I decided to start a bunch of bloggage for the upcoming year of 2009.
However, due to lack of time, 2008 was the Dark Age for me, so I thought I’d shed some light on what went on throughout this past year. For those of you that don’t know me, 2008 was the first year that I have done photography as a full time gig. I graduated from highschool, and went to college for a semester. I wasn’t really enjoying it so I decided to try and do my own thing.
Now, I basically photograph bands, and travel around the country, with bands, and sleep on van floors more often than I would prefer, with bands.
Anyway, this year, I….

Helped pose a few bands
Had some good times, I am all about having fun. Some highlights…
Traveled around the states with a bunch of nice guys, and Canada a few times.
Left my camera on the Southwest Airlines counter
Paid for and got a girls name tattooed on the right side of my chest
Paid for and got a guys name tattooed on the left side of my chest
Lost my shoe well sleeping in Canada
Cram 2 shirts, one pair of pants, and 6 pair of underwear at the bottom of my light stand case, for a two month travel extravaganza
Get a warning for traveling 20 miles under the speed limit somewhere in DC, while driving a 1967 Teal Caddilac
Thanks many times over to the guys in Four Letter Lie, Just Surrender, Before Their Eyes, Settings, Dr. Manhattan, Blessed By A Broken Heart, There For Tomorrow, Bring Me The Horizon, and The Devil Wears Prada for lending me some floor space on tour. Also all the people who let me stay at their home on my days off and such. Oh yea, and Brian Buckley, for driving me to Canada and New York when I couldn’t drive.
