Performers
1992 - 1998

The Flaming Lips show in 1987 at the DMZ in Little Rock, Arkansas changed the trajectory of my music appreciation for the greater good. The DMZ was the only venue for seeing bands that we're radio friendly and this night club was my saving grace during my senior year in high school. While I cherish 70's classic rock and 80's pop music, the sound didn't speak directly to me. I gravitated toward bands such as R.E.M., The Cure, Sonic Youth, New Order, The Smiths, and other emo bands of the 80's which would later become known as alternative music.
When I became a contributor for the Austin Chronicle and SXSW in the 90's, the floodgates burst open for experiencing live performances. This position provide me with the opportunity to see countless musicians and work with amazing performers. Along the way, I began collaborating with numerous dance theater groups. My association with these non-profits led me to a level creating freedom in making images for their marketing campaigns. The in-kind business arrangement afforded me the opportunity to experimentation with my creative vision.
This is a collection of images from documenting live performances, working with dancers, and portraits of musicians.
