About Me

I am a music photographer covering shows in Atlanta, Georgia, and the surrounding area. The oddest highlight of my career was back in the early ’90s, when I sold Neil Diamond the rights to my negatives from a show and then purchased a set of tires for my 1979 280ZX during college with the money.
