'The Voice' artists: Nicole Nelson, Suzanna Choffel and De'Borah

Despite the darkness of the Rockwood Music Hall and my lens limitations, I came out with some good shots. I did for the first time rely on turning a couple of shoots to black and white, which is a common practice when concert photographers face very low or very bad... Continue reading

Macy Gray with the David Murray Band

I was very happy with the photos I took of Macy Gray and the David Murray Band at the Howard Theatre. It was my first opportunity to use my Nikon D600 for a concert. The show was fairly brightly lit, so I didn't have to push the ISO beyond 2500.... Continue reading

Collin McLoughlin at Webster Hall

I am waiting to interview Collin McLoughlin, formerly of Team Adam then converted to Team Blake on The Voice. I showed up early and am getting to see his sound check. I love getting to observe the behind the scenes stuff but it doesn't make music any less magical. Continue reading

Maroon 5 to play New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival

The planets are aligning in my favor. Some of the first music photography that I was captivated by was iconic images of legendary jazz musicians. This year I got it in my head that I wanted to attend as many of the major jazz festivals as possible to capture some... Continue reading

I survived 24 hours with Maroon 5, Coca-Cola...and yoga?

I made it through Maroon 5's "Coca-Cola Music" 24hr Session. More importantly, Maroon 5 made it. Instead of the rush you might have expected, the last few hours in the studio were actually kind of quiet. Honestly, my enthusiasm was dying too. Watching the creative process of writing the song...

Maroon 5 and Coca-Cola give me a 'Wake Up Call'

I took a brief nap. Ok, so I took 2 naps. I've been known to put a song on repeat but 24 hours is ridiculous. I think I could hear it in my sleep. But I'm hanging with my guys in Maroon 5. Besides, I've written 2 articles, this is... Continue reading

Recently, I wrote about this special project Maroon 5 and Coca-Cola are doing in my Maroon 5 column on Examiner.com. Besides watching this just because I'm a fan, I'm going to try to truly be a apart of this social media experiment by writing article updates, blogging and tweeting. Considering... Continue reading

Maroon 5's new album 'Hands All Over'

I recently listened to Maroon 5's Hands All Over all the way through for the first time in weeks. I had actually retired it. Normally, a new Maroon 5 album would be #1 on my playlist for months but this one has taken a lot out of me. I was... Continue reading

Nicole Nelson from Team Adam Levine in NYC

Had the pleasure of seeing Nicole Nelson from The Voice's Team Adam perform with her partner Dwight Ritcher in New York City recently. Her performances on The Voice didn't come close to showing the magnitude of her talent. I knew it was hard for Adam Levine to send her home... Continue reading

Style and Substance

As I go through my photos deciding what to add to my portfolio, I'm looking to see if I have developed a style in my concert photography. As I focus on the business side of my photography, I have to contemplate branding, niche, marketing etc. When I took photography in... Continue reading

Tuesday: 'Live on Letterman'

I got to New York City later than I planned because I missed an earlier bus. Once I was on my way to get my tickets for Maroon 5 on Live on Letterman, I began to calm down from my earlier panic about Overexposed. Since one of the band members... Continue reading

Tuesday: First impression of 'Overexposed'

I said I was only going to lay down for a couple of hours. Then, I would get up and pack. By then, it would be after midnight and my pre-ordered copy of Overexposed would automatically download to my iTunes. I was ready for Maroon 5's new "pop" venture. I... Continue reading

Monday: 'One More Night' video

Although I wasn't sure what to expect from Overexposed, I was excited that One More Night was going to be the next single. I loved the song as soon as I heard it at Maroon 5's Atlantic City concert. Like Stutter, it immediately stuck in my head and half way... Continue reading

New York City with Maroon 5

I was so busy running around NYC following Maroon 5 during the release week of Overexposed that I didn't have time to blog about my adventures. Ok, so part of the reason is because I'd fall asleep when I got back to the hotel. I had so much fun being... Continue reading

Maroon 5 at Revel Casino

My first Maroon 5 concert of the year at Revel in Atlantic City was predictably fantastic. Every time I see Maroon 5 live I fall in love with them all over again. I was disappointed I was able to get a photo pass for them, only Javier Colon. Even though... Continue reading
