Quiet Company interview

Last time the band Quiet Company was in Nashville, I met up with them to do an interview and photo shoot with them for New York Minute Magazine. We didn't have long, so for the most part, I just hung out while they rolled this concrete thing down a hill.

These guys were hilarious and I really enjoyed working with them. If you're interested in becoming a music and band photographer, you need to be ready to relax a bit. If I was a pain on this, I would have nothing to show for it. Moral of the story: be ready for anything.

Our Travels Out West - The National Parks

We just completed an epic journey out West consisting of 2,200 miles, 13 parks, 9 days, 6 states, and 2 weary travelers. Whew! It was totally worth the effort. Our National Parks are a treasure, and I would have gladly done this trip twice over. 

We came back with photos of Zion National Park, Glen Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, Escalante, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Monument Valley, the Grand Tetons, and more.
