January 26th, 2008 @ Starland Ballroom

Sayreville, NJ

Here’s two pictures from the Hot Water Music reunion at Starland Ballroom. I thought my pictures looked real crappy, so I’m only posting two.

Big thank you to Karen for helping me out with this show. Also, thank you to Jberg for all the tips.

American Pie

Right now I’m organizing photos that this band is using for thier cd. I’m really excited! I really can’t say who It is because I don’t think that’s proper. I hope it works out.

I’m also watching American Pie

This…is the life.

On the road: Pellinore

Massachusetts

Here is my journal of photos from the Pellinore weekend. What a fantastic time I had. I got to see so many cool places and meet a bunch of new people. Thank you Joe, Frank, Time, Steve, and Buzz for bringing me. Big thank you to Karl, Lynn (the best girl), Rhode Island Ryan, DFJ, Jimmy Flynn, Britt, and Gavin/Josh of Surroundings for making this weekend great. I should have a review of this weekdn in my photo zine which should be coming out by United Blood Festival.

I hate to be back home. This weekend was needed. Tomorrow I start college and It’s back to real life. Fuck Target. I don’t want to work there anymore.

The next 10 faces are of those who made this weekend complete.

My look on the Bane tour

Haverhill, MA
Worcester, MA
Albany, NY
New York City, NY

I still remember hearing about this four shows and thinking to myself that I need to be at all four. With Honor was the first hardcore show I went to, so It was really cool to be able to go to the last shows. The show in Worcester was my top favorite. I got to go with James who took me to my first With Honor show, so that was really awesome.

Thank you Rob and Bart, Meghan Davis, James Heaton, for going to the shows with me. Big thank you to Pat Flynn and Nicky I rise for helping me out with photos/getting in. Also thanks to all my friends from New York/Mass specially Dan Futurebreed and Todd Pollock.

I’m very lucky to be been able to part of this. This is what I intended to do when I first began taking pictures. I can’t imagine how Glenn E Friedman or other photographers felt when they took all the pictures they are known for.

January 6th, 2007 @ The First Unitarian Church

Philadelphia, PA

I got to wake up late, eat cheese steaks, see friends from different states, and see an awesome show. This is a perfect day for me.

The church and Philly are some of my favorite places.

I normally wouldn’t be at this but I decided to give it a chance and go. Blank Stare/Sick Fix were awesome. I’m real glad I got to go.

Blank Stare





December 31st, 2007 @ Starland Ballroom

Sayrevile, NJ

How do you explain something to someone without any prove? I want to explain to everyone how I felt at this show and how I’m feeling right now. This was one of the most important shows that I have been to in the past 6 years. I remember sitting my old room when I was a teenager and seeing the video for Cross Out The Eyes. I remember taping the video and watching it over and over again. I used to do that alot. I used to video tape music videos and I would play them again and again. One time I gave this girl a tape of all her favorite bands.

I’m in such a great state of happiness right now. Being able to take pictures of one of my favorite bands was one of the best experiences ever. I have been taking pictures for only a year and and four months, so to be able to do this is insane. This year proved to be amazing and I’m so glad I got to close it off at this show. I love my friends, music, and most importantly my family.

Thank you Karen, Rajon, and Jon Vena for going out of your way to help me. That’s something that I can remember for the rest of my life.

Thursday (!!!!)



Thursday

So write these words back down inside
That’s where you need it the most
and without conviction of heart you will never feel it at all
Yeah, we all dance to the same beat when we we’re marching
Yeah, the TV tells us everythign we need to know
And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment
And history is all the same
