My New Site!

As photographers, we have a site developed and usually just maintain what we have.  For a few years my old site turned into a mishmash of everything I have shot.  It was simple to get completely lost in it.  Visitors would stop over to check out one thing, and have no idea how to get […]

Chris Cornell, Solo and Acoustic at Town Hall, NYC

With nothing but a series of guitars and a chair, Chris Cornell played to a packed crowd at Town Hall in NYC.  Singing songs from his solo collection, his time in bands like Soundgarden & Audioslave, as well as covers by artists like The Beatles, he was only accompanied by his young son who backed […]
