Hi. I'm a fan of most genres, but definitely a preference for the emo, pop-punk, alt. rock side of music. In the past year I have fallen in love with the DIY scene in Austin and watching local bands grow and put on better shows in living rooms, convince stores, and makeshift venues with more energy and passionate fans than most artists on larger stages.
I shot concerts exclusively on 35mm film for 18 months because I loved the challenge of it. Manual focus in the pit, limited shots to catch the big moments, confidence in my settings without the help of being able to preview the image or immediately check how it turned out.
I recently started shooting Digital, as the demand for me to shoot for artists and my desire to shoot more shows outgrew the logistics and financials of only shooting film. This has allowed me to deliver more photos to artists in a shorter turnaround time, and has not bankrupted me just yet.
Probably, but at this point I think it's here to stay.
