I last saw Stars three years ago in Omaha. Back then, no one would go with me (life suggestion: get friends who don’t do musicals). This time, I had both friends and a brand new lens in tow. To launch the gallery of 36 photos from the show, click here.подаръци

Thanks to the internet gods, I had the best seats in the house (row AAA!) for Saturday’s Sufjan Stevens show at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. It’s been five years since I last saw Sufjan, so I’d been aching to see him live again. He performed mostly new material from his recent release, The Age of Adz, which is radically different from his other albums in almost every area except quality–it’s still excellent. Check out 32 photos from the show here.

Yesterday, I had the awesome opportunity to see (and meet! and photograph!) John Legend at a solo acoustic concert present by my school’s Activities Committee. To launch the gallery of 30 pictures, click here.

Photos from Day 3 of this Summer’s Pitchfork Music Festival at Union Park in Chicago…view the gallery (which includes photos of Beach House, St. Vincent, and Big Boi) HERE.

Along with these photos from the 2010 Maha Music Festival, you’ll notice a new, streamlined view in which you don’t have to go to a separate page to open the gallery…it opens here on the same page in an overlay! I’m in the process of updating archived posts to work this way; and if you go to the list of all artists, those galleries should also open in the same page. Fun, fun, fun.

Anyway, this year’s Maha Music Festival was an awesome event that really gave me hope for the cultural future of Omaha.  There was a great mix of local and national acts and tickets were a bargain ($35) considering the diversity and talent of the artists involved.  Click here to open the gallery of 30 photos from three of the acts (Ben Kweller, The Faint, and Spoon) I got close enough to photograph!

I have no idea why I never posted these…34 pictures HERE.

Better four months late than never…29 photos HERE.

Oh hey, I also got a new camera during the hiatus. Here is the first show I photographed with it…

33 photos of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin at The Waiting Room on August 9, 2009, HERE. At this show I abandoned my hatred for flash photography (but only a little bit).

Wow, it’s been over a year since I last uploaded the site. No, I wasn’t dead. No, I didn’t stop photographing concerts. Yes, I was a lazy pile. I think I have pictures from about 15 shows; I’ll try to upload the best 5-7 or so. Or maybe I’ll get bored doing actual work and post more than that.

Just so you know, the site was sketchily hacked or something a while back and my Google results were all messed up, but I’ve got it all cleared up now. There is no malware hosted on this site…I promise.

Also, if you looked at this site before, you caught a glimpse of the only live pictures of Monsters of Folk on the internet! Unfortunately, now there are hundreds of others.

Anyway, on to the photos.  You can see 29 pictures from the Andrew Bird show at Slowdown on February 28, 2009 HERE. I don’t know what was up at this show, but I did some really weird stuff which resulted in lots of (intentionally?) blurry pictures. I really like how a few of them turned out though/
