John turns out to be such a great blues guitar player that I just had to play with some old fashion grainy black & white images

After watching these 2,000 pound bulls toss 200 pound cowboys around like rag dolls, you could not pay me enough to climb on one! I had a couple of close calls and I’m shooting from in shark cage!
Penn State wins an unprecedented third straight NCAA Championship over Texas. For me shooting sports it’s always in the eyes of the players. That far away stare tells you everything.
OK let me get this straight, girls playing football in lingerie. I covered the first game of the “LFL” Lingerie Football League between the Tampa Breeze and the Chicago Bliss. Girls playing football in bras…. they may have something here. Sorry to say that Chicago beat Tampa 27-18
The KISS train came through town this week. Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley can still rock it. Always a great show to shoot!
I worked with Metallica last night. Opening acts were Gojira and Lamb of God. METAL, METAL Hard Core METAL! As I was shooting the show I had to keep waiting for hair to blow out of the performers faces. And that’s when it hit me… all of the Heavy Metal tours are always sponsored by Budwiser or Jägermeister, so why not Shampoos? Can you imagine the budget for hair care products? Wouldn’t you use Lamb of God Shampoo? I’m just saying I think there is a missing market here. The Head & Shoulders Tour….
Where’s Waldo? During the second song of this show Billie Joe Armstrong dove off the stage and disappeared into the audience. I actually lost him in the crowd. He showed up 3 sections and 20 rows away from the stage. The next thing I know his playing guitar sitting in a girls lap. He returns to the stage dragging a young boy behind him. It was pretty cool, I’m so use to meeting rock stars with gorilla like body guards surrounding them it was nice to see someone so close to their fans.
Speedway bikes and quads are modified to compete on the hockey ice rink. There are over 2000 metal studs added to the tires and there are NO BRAKES!
I’ve now started working with Ruth Eckerd Hall over in Clearwater. It’s a really nice venue and a bit more intimate only holding 2,200 fans. Also the shows are a bit different for me, your not going to see Metallica here, it’s more on the lines of Broadway show. George Benson, Julio Iglesias, Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters, Dame Edna, Jerry Lewis and Hairspray. The best part is I get to work with my favorite boss of all times Holly Brown!
