This year was my first year in live music photography. Hell it’s been a big year. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve exceeded my limitations. I’ve fought for my art. I’ve photographed my favorite bands. And most importantly i’ve made shit happen for myself.  It’s been a great year for me, a young and aspiring photographer. 

This year i have photographed so many bands, 

1. We Rob Banks
2. The Mission In Motion
3. Stealing O’neal
4. The Maine 
5. NeverShoutNever
6. We The Kings x2
7. Underoath
8. A Day To Remember
9. You Me At Six

And through the process of it all i’ve gain some recognition.

1. New supporters, followers and friends
2. FasterLouder had one of my photos in the ‘Best Photos of 2011’
3. They also placed a few photos in their ‘Best of March’ and ‘Best of Sidewaves’

Oh and did i mention i got kicked out of one of these gigs because i went past my three song limit and shot stuff from the crowd? Yeah, i get myself in trouble sometimes to get the shot.

I hope i didn’t bore you too much with this long ass post and i hope that your 2011 was just as good! All the best for the New Year my lovelies!
