London Metal Exchange

I recently shot for London Metal Exchange. Both live and a location shoot. These are a few of my favorites. You can check them out at www.myspace.com/londonmetalexchange

Choose Your Weapon

These are my electric guitars. Jackson Randy Rhodes, Fender Stratocaster and a Hagstrom Swede.
My recent acquisition of the Hagstrom (Thanks to Nick Bowcott for “playing it forward”) has inspired me to play more, get back to writing and take these photographs.

We Are They

Promotional photos for We Are They. These guys are fun to work with. This was a last minute shoot to get promo photos prior to the tour (starts tomorrow) They needed the shots done at a specific location so I went with this high key white look to make the best of the time and space limitations.
You can check THEM out at www.myspace.com/wearethey.

Joe Gaspard

This was my favorite promotional photo for Joe Gaspard. Joe's new album 'Here and Now' can be heard at www.myspace.com/joegaspard.

Midl - Arizona Band Photo Shoot Winners!

Last month I held a free photo shoot contest for one lucky Arizona band. The winning band is Midl. These guys were great to work with and went along with my diner theme. I think it fit them pretty well. Congratulations guys! You can check them out on MySpace. www.myspace.com/midlmusic

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic - Marquee Theatre - 02.13.08

I don't usually say too much in regard to the shows I've attended but this was the most enjoyable event I've had the privilege to shoot. It was also one of the most enjoyable concerts I've experienced. I was made to feel right at home and capturing this magical time from backstage was a real joy. I only regret I didn't get to really meet and share more with everyone on the P Funk Allstar team. When another opportunity to party with this awesome crew comes my way I will be there smiling from ear to ear once again. More photos from this show can be seen in my MySpace albums. (Thanks to GCPF, Brett Grau, Tom Norton)

Blimpie "Slice of Life"

I recently did a job as a second shooter/assistant on a Blimpie shoot. There will be a montage of stills within the television spot and three of my still photos will be used in the Blimpie commercial.

2 Hot!

I'm currently working on a series centered around nightclubs. This is an image from that series. With Jason's and Bethany's skills, I think this one is "well done"!

It's a studio and a nightclub!

Phase 4 Studio and Phase 54 nightclub promotional photos.

Megadeth "Gigantour" - Mesa Amphitheatre - 05.22.08

Megadeth was my favorite Heavy Metal band about ten years ago when I was a long-hair guitar player and wore black all of the time. Wait I still wear black all of the time. Anyway, I still admire Dave Mustaine's songwriting and guitar "riffs" and it was a pleasure to photograph the show. Tons of energy, lots of hair flying around and plenty of dedicated metal fans moshing outside in the rain. Job For A Cowboy, In Flames, Children Of Bodom and Megadeth were a treat to see. More photos from this shoot can be seen in my MySpace "Megadeth Gigantour" album.

Joey DeFrancesco Trio - Voce Ristorante - 05.19.08

The Joey Defrancesco Trio (Joey Defrancesco, Byron Landham, Pat Bianchi) performing at Voce' Lounge in Scottsdale.
It was a wonderful performance by these gifted musicians.
If you haven't heard Joey D. playing the organ, you don't know what your missing.

Herbie Hancock Quartet - Orpheum Theatre - 11.17.07

Herbie Hancock Quartet. Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Vinnie Colaiuta, Nathan East (and Bill Winn at the mixing board). A wonderful quartet at a beautiful venue.

Chris Bailey & Tripnet

I'm currently working on Chris Bailey's Tripnet artwork for his upcoming album "Acquistion of signal". Check out the wonderfully ambient tripnet at iTunes.

Power-ful photography

Three years ago I did a shoot at the Ocotillo Power Plant. Yesterday I had the good fortune to return and shoot there again. I had a different camera back then but it seems I also had a different pair of eyes as well. It's always a pleasure to return to old shooting grounds and revisit since things change with time. Both the subject and the photographer. These were taken with the Nikon D200 and D3.
