I shot the Fratellis and Airborne Toxic Event at Webster Hall for Prefixmag.com Friday night. It was my first non-ReadJunk.com/SkaPunkPhotos.com assignment and it went really well. A lot of my photos are currently on prefix mag’s website here. I’ll have a lot of the photos on here this week, along with a show write-up but for now, please visit Prefixmag.com for all the photos from the show.

The Vans Warped Tour is coming up this summer and more & more photographers are getting access to shoot the tour. I have been covering the Warped Tour on and off for 10 years now and tend to get my best shots at this tour. This article is for the newbie photographer that’s just starting out and needs some type of advice on what to do on the concert. I have been asked from time to time on how to get a pass, advice, etc. So here’s a list of things you need to know before shooting the Warped Tour:

Film composer John Williams was performing at Boston Symphony Hall again and I wanted to go see him again. He was set to play music from Indiana Jones, Harry Potter and other scores he composed.

First thing in the morning, I had to deal with my car getting run into at the Hamden Starbucks in the parking lot (another story for another time), and then it was off to Boston, Ma. What a wonderful way to start off a mini-vacation! NOT!

Well, I finally did it! I got the Nikon D300 from B&H Photo!! Since it was announced back in the fall, I knew this was going to be the next camera I would own. Of course I would love to own the Nikon D3, but I can’t see myself paying that much for a camera…Unless it was my main profession. I started to begin saving money for the D300 this spring and sold a lot of stuff on ebay. Then I got the Tax rebate which went towards the camera, ya know, priorties. I’ve been trying to find side work for web design & photography but have been coming up short so far. Then the company I work for decided to reward me with $250 gift card to B&H for my 4 year anniversary. I was shocked and really happy, it was SUPER NICE of them to do that for me. I decided what the hell, and buy the camera now. I’m still going to pursue side work to help pay for the rest of the camera, and hopefully this will be paid off soon.
