Peter Murphy live at the Roxy

Last year, I saw a photographer in the pit at the Mayan at a Peter Murphy show and I thought to myself, "How the heck do I get to be that person!?" A spark was lit in me and I thought I want to do that. But, how? Seemed like a faraway dream. At the time I had never shot a concert before. I didn't have any connections. I had no clue.

Then came along a series of fortunate events. My friend Brian brought me aboard Buzzine.com. I heard Peter was coming to town. I did some asking and begging and lo and behold here I am shooting Peter just a year later. My little dream had come true.

You see, Peter is one of my favorite artists of all time. From Bauhaus to his solo career, I have seen this man perform live more times than any other singer. When he sings I can feel it in my bones. Love you, Peter.

If you'd like to see more go to this gallery. Prints are available.

My next music goal, The Cure.

Shooting for Buzzine

Last year I got a great opportunity to start contributing to an online magazine owned by the Elfman family called Buzzine. I have specifically shot for the music sections of the magazine and assisted during video interviews. So far it has been a fabulous experience. The best is that I have been introduced to so much wonderful music out there that I probably would have never have known about if it weren't for Buzzine.

Here are some favorites.

Anika at Fingerprints, Long Beach

 Amanda Palmer with Jason Webley at The El Rey Theater, Los Angeles

 Datarock at Culture Collide, Echo Park
