I was sort of waiting to write up this latest blog post once my new site launched, but I’m still coding it and trying to get everything in order. So in the meantime, I might as well post something. Flogging Molly’s show was great and a lot to shoot. FM always deliver the goods when it comes to their live show, and I’m very happy with the photos I got.

Frank Turner was the second act for the Flogging Molly show at Hammerstein Ballroom. Frank delivered a great set filled with folk punk anthems that got the crowd moving, clapping, and singing along. I never saw Frank Turner before and glad to finally have seen his live act!

The Architects hail from Kansas City, Missouri and used to be in the ska band The Gadjits. Now they play punk rock, mixed in with some old style rock n roll and I liked what I heard!

I’m finalizing my design and code for the new design, but running into a variety of problems with Wordpress. While I like WP, it can be really frustrating to work with.

I’m having problems with pagination (the page navigation) and it won’t show the next set of posts on the 2nd page. If you’re a Wordpress guru out there and that can help or suggest an idea, please email me! thank you!

A new website is coming, hopefully I can get it up and running this weekend sometime. I haven’t even designed anything yet but figured I need do it ASAP so my site doesn’t get a nasty virus again. Sorry if anyone got the virus, my desktop computer got attacked from it. It’s a nasty bugger (Internet Security 2010) so be sure to get Malware Anti-Bytes, Spybot, and other software to protect your computer!

Sorry Everyone, My whole server got infected and I’m slowly getting things back to where they were. Its a good kick in the ass to upgrade my Wordpress and re-do passwords and things like that. I’m sorry if you got a virus from this website! So expect a sort-of new site ASAP.

Over the years, I have been asked a lot of questions from newcomers. While I don’t mind answering each e-mail that is sent to me. I figured it would be more helpful to just have all the answers all in the same spot. If the question isn’t below, then send me an e-mail and I’ll try my best to answer it. Below you’ll find the Concert Photography Frequently Asked Questions:

Another year is quickly ending, and with that, my concert photography season has ended as well. I don’t have any scheduled shows happening right now until March but things could pop up. I usually like to take off these months just because I don’t want to worry about driving in the snow. This year was interesting in that I didn’t shoot as many shows as I would have liked, but the ones I did shoot were a lot of fun. You can read my Year in Review list over at ReadJunk.com if you have a few minutes. Like always, it’s tough to select 20 photographs that were your favorite/best photos of the year but I tried my best. Below is my top 20 best concert photos of 2009:

Carbon Leaf and Stephen Kellogg played during Thanksgiving weekend at Bowery Ballroom in New York City. This show was my 3rd Carbon Leaf show since May. I’ve been a fan of the band since 2003-ish (?) but haven’t seen them live until the first May show at the Highline Ballroom. The band opened for The Sixers, but played an excellent 1 hour set!
