I think I have an unhealthy relationship with laughing in the face of road ragers. I just think it’s hilarious but maybe I should stop before I get shot #thisisamerica

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

What ever happened to The Drums?
As someone who lives in Orange County, I am glad I am yet to see one of those “I did that” stickers on any of the pumps I’ve been to.

Coming all the way from Auckland, New Zealand, @LizstokedStokes brought a vibrant show to @RegentTheaterLA this week. The Beths played their fresh release, "A Real Thing," which was a highlight of the night. Check out the full gallery from @Hextrn - concertupdater.com/the-beths…

I’ve been to the Observatory three times in the past seven days (first time since the pandemmy) and the side street behind Del Taco has had zero people parking there every time. This used to be the best place to park for free 👀

Pushing forward with their momentum from opening for the Foo Fighters in Dec, @killsbirdsmusic rocked the @LodgeRoom in LA with Slaughterhouse. @Hextrn caught their sets as they highlighted songs off their recently released album, Memories. concertupdater.com/kills-bir…
Post pandemic concert photography feels like doing a new game plus play through
The influx of behind the scenes content I’ve been seeing from artists is a trend I fecking LOVE. Thanks, TikTok?
Getting back into live music is helping me realize how much I love shooting the smaller gigs. Not only is it more of a challenge, it also helps me connect with what’s happening around me creatively and I love that

Getting a conversation going with another photog at a show only to discover that you already follow each on IG is so wholesome and I love it.

I was thinking it was a bit soon for the return of Swedish House Mafia until I realized it’s been a literal fucking decade since the farewell tour and now I need to go lay down.

Sitting on the floor, in my closet with my laptop and a microphone because I don’t have an actual booth. I now know how MatPat feels
Note to self: If a band is doing a two night stay at a large venue due to popular demand, choose the 2nd night when deciding which night to shoot. They tend to have more fun on the 2nd night

Also just realized the banner pic I’ve had on my Twitter profile for the past few years is also the band I’m referring to. I fucking love Joyce Manor
I went to HARD Summer for the first time since 2014 and now Instagram won’t stop showing me ads for EDM shows.

I haven’t been to Vegas since Swedish House split up and Billie Joe Armstrong went to rehab due to his cut set time. Coming back as someone over 21, my lil secret spot is the Sand Dollar courtyard. Some of THE nicest folks and fun live music

I hate the fact that the facility I work for doesn’t pay enough attention to the night shit yet tries showing they care by playing the “health care workers are heroes” bull shit in front of us as if it makes a difference

I’ve been getting press releases for potential shows and interviews again and it’s making me incredibly sad that my favorite publication I worked for no longer exists and I haven’t been shooting

The news widget on my new iPhone has been feeding me #FoxNews lately so I’ve been reading it on occasion. I find it really bizarre that they warn their readers that “the media” is “coddling” the president and shouldn’t be trusted. This is coming from Fox
