It’s Only Rock and Roll #1 | San Diego Photographer

I’m very, very, very, very excited to share with you a new kind of blog post with you today.  Did I say I was VERY excited?  Good, just checking . . .

You see, I love music.  Love it.  Can’t live without it.  Know a lot about it.  Dreamed of writing for Rolling Stone.  Dreamed of being a concert photographer.  Dreamed of working with musicians and taking their portraits.  Married a musician.  I.  JUST.  LOVE. MUSIC.

And so today, I’d like to share with you a new project.  I’d like to feature a favorite portrait of a musician, an artist.  I do this with the hope that you get to know me a little better, you may even share my taste in music!  Perhaps, you will even check out the work of the musicians I am featuring and find one or two or more that you like!  Perhaps you’ll want to take me to a concert because you’ll think I’m super cool and will want to hang out with me.  Haha!  Just kidding,  . . . sort of . . .

More importantly, I’d like to do this to highlight the incredible work of amazing photographers I admire and that I wish I could *BE* for a day or two!

I’m starting off with this image by Danny Clinch, who has photographed tons and tons of great artists – Elvis Costello, Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, and this man, Eddie Vedder.  His new album, Ukulele songs, was released last week.

I love this portrait because it is simple.

I’m going to see Eddie Vedder in concert in July!  Whooooo, hooooo!  Eddie, his ukulele, and 2247 other fans – it will be awesome!  And I’ll be singing.  Loudly.

Great idea! You’re love of music and photography is one of the reasons I value our friendship. Eddie Vedder is amazing in concert. I saw him when he came to town following the “Into the Wild” soundtrack. Keep up the good work!
