Them Damn Kids
@ Seven Sided Studios
_____________

After playing a studio show along with Facing Winter, the guys from Them Damn Kids and I took a few simple shots together. The idea was simple and outdoors... it was just a bit unfortunate that we had to do the shoot when the sun had already gone to sleep...

Josh & Kelly
July 19, 2008
___________

Last Saturday's wedding will be one that I know I will think back on often. The day was filled with humor around every corner, and a few touching moments that brought tears to the eyes of most.

Josh and Kelly - you are both two amazing, strong, and beautiful people. I truly wish you the best for your future together. Thank you so much for making me a part of such a special day in your lives.

I hope that your Jamaican honeymoon was amazing!! :)

Gavin Rossdale
Chicago
07/13/08
_____________


I was given the amazing opportunity to photograph former Bush frontman, Gavin Rossdale, at his solo show in Chicago Sunday evening. I was extremely excited as soon as I heard the first guitar riff to "Everything Zen." The one crummy thing was that all the fun stuff to photograph came later on in the show - kneeling in front of the video camera to play a guitar solo, jumping around on stage, etc.

All in all though, I am thrilled to have gotten to take these pictures - the music he helped write was a part of my early teenage life, and I never got the opportunity to see him perform live until Sunday.
