Not what I'm best at but one of my favorite things to shoot is concert stuff. I don't mean stadium's as I'll never have the access to get that done right but when I can get on or near the stage I love to capture the raw emotion and fun that is part of a great show.

Of all the bands that I've seen over the years a few really stand out not because of how much l like them or because they have great songs (though those two things are often intrinsically connected) but because each time I've seen them they bring the sound and the fury live. Too many bands depend on the singer to be the only person to try to raise the energy level in the crowd. Bane is not one of them. I've seen changes in the band over the years yet the one thing that remained is that every person in the band has always brought the energy and the passion that a person would expect from a hardcore/punkrock band.

Kudo's Gentlemen....

Ali Vs. Frazier

(rumble, young man, rumble)
how many more days will you sit
and talk about your ambitions
all that you can be
the person you are dying to be
the place you want to get to
but always out of reach
before that fury swells inside of you
grows so big that it forever quiets you
stand up to your demons
make a run at your goliath
find the best, find the worst
waiting in both of you
not the who or the what that is lasting
but how you fight
that is the fight
the only mark that will not leave you
and i will feel my heart drum its final beat
if it meant that i have given this my all
there's nothing left for me to believe in
if not you, if not this?what else is there but death?
(it's your call all on you)
give more
give everything
give blood
