Tomahawk @ The Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, Ca. February 15th, 2013

Tomahawk at The Great American Music Hall. This was kind of a tough show to shoot due to a barricade (which I have never seen at this venue before), and I ended up over at stage right, and unable to really move around. Unfortunately this means that I have no photos of Trevor Dunn.

You can also check these photos out over at Soundspike.

The Butlers @ The Fillmore – San Francisco, Ca. January 30th, 2013

The Bulters, who were joined onstage by not only Phil Demmel of Machine Head (and Vio-Lence) but also by Mark Osegueda and Rob Cavestany of Death Angel. Read about what an awesome night of Bay Area Metal this was over at ümlaut…..

Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich @ Bottom of the Hill – San Francisco, Ca. January 12th, 2013

A few photos of Wino doing an acoustic set at Bottom of the Hill. Very much looking forward to seeing him with The Obsessed at Maryland Deathfest later this year….

Converge @ Slim’s – San Francisco, Ca. October 26th, 2012

After the last few months of photographing bands in Arenas, Amphitheatres, and at Festivals, it was nice to shoot a show like this again. No barricade, no 3 song limit, and hardly a chance of moving once Converge hit the stage. My camera and I were totally at the mercy of the band, the constant barrage of stage divers, and the 400 bodies behind me. And I loved every minute of it. Shooting in battle conditions is how I got my start with concert photography, and no matter how spoiled I get by shooting the big ‘rock shows’, I will never get tired of photographing under such duress. Check out a few more of my photos over at the Decibel Magazine blog.
