Seriously, I suck. It's been a month and this is my first post since the LIVE ad went... live. It has been a whirlwind of a month and I have an excuse, kinda, sorta. The second week in June I joined LIVE on the Summerland tour, as LIVE's house photographer. My job? Documenting life on the road, concerts, behind the scenes. As you can imagine, I'm a little kid in a candy store and can barely keep up with editing - I have already filled two external hard drives and have to get a few more as we still have about a month of touring ahead of us.
Things have been great - this is my home for Summer.
How do I feel seeing my photos on the tour buses? There are no words. It's a dream come true to be on this Journey with people I love and admire. It's bringing my photography to a different level, I literally feel my work becoming more intimate, intense, better. I see things I didn't notice before. When you're surrounded by talent, 24x7, you want to be at that level as well. I feel like I'm growing, pushing myself night after night to do something I haven't done before, find a different angle, share what I see in the most respectful and original way. We still have a month left on tour, and I don't know what I'll see, what I'll share, what experiences will come my way, but I'm excited to get up every day and be in a different city, with a group of people that push my game to a higher level. Everyone on tour, from crew to the other bands, has been nothing but supportive of each other, helpful and kind. It's a vibe I cherish and intend to keep in my heart.
Here's some of my work from the tour so far. It's all going too fast...
Much, much more to come... stay tuned...
