Red Rocks is the pinnacle of live music for both musician and fan, and the effects it has on the concert experience are undeniable. Cage the Elephant reacted to that catalyst effect and blew out the highest energy rock show they could deliver. Front man, Matthew Shultz, made the stage his personal romper room, bouncing all over it and the first rows of the audience alike. The only person working the stage as hard as Shultz was his stage hand tasked with keeping his mic cable freely flowing behind the front man, an exercise in futility that looked more like a hazing exercise than a real job. The audience was comprised of a very young majority who ate up the visual bonanza, and fed the energy back to the artist. Portugal. The Man and The Mowglis opened the show and got the audience primed for the spectacle headline act to come.

Capturing life in various forms is what I do. I consider myself an archivist by nature. It is not a career choice that I consciously made, but it is something that has called me. I strive to freeze a moment in time with every frame, a moment that can retell its story with each viewing, forever. I also have a deep passion for music and have been photographing and recording live music for years. Capturing the energy and magic of a live performance in a photograph is one of my passions. In addition, I enjoy photographing in a wide variety of settings, from wildlife scenes to family portraits and everything in between. I am a lover of the earthscapes that we see all around us every day, both natural and manmade, and aim to make unique images that do justice to their beauty. Where others see darkness, I see streaks of light through long exposures.

I shoot a very wide variety of subject matter including individual/family portraits, event coverage, landscapes, live concert/performance, HDR, product and commercial photography, architectural, weddings, food, and editorial photo journalism. With artistic expression, I aspire to create visual art that speaks volumes.
