After taking a month off to build up a little more content, I'm back with another free sample pack for new folks! If you've been wondering about what kind of work I do and whether or not you'd like to become a Patron to me, I hope this will help encourage you to support me. These past two months have been a special treat of good lighting and interesting bands. Looking back, I'm a little disappointed that I've been too busy to really go to as many shows as I'd like to! Now that we've got that nice summer weather I hope to make a change in that. Here's to posting more photos soon!

Hey, wow! This post is exciting to me for a couple of reasons. First of all, I am now up to date on the exclusive content that I've been uploading here! When I first created my Patreon I was really excited to have a place to showcase photos that would otherwise not see the light of day for a very long time. I would like to thank you all for your support since November, and I hope you've enjoyed getting to see photos no one else has access to yet. This has been a great project, and I'm really happy to have a little less hiding in my backlog. If you follow me on Tumblr you already know this, but I recently had to take a day job I'm not particularly excited by. As a sort of consolation prize for having to do something difficult, I decided to take out a credit card and get myself a new laptop. The computer I've been using up until this point was an older model desktop, and while it helped me get the job done ultimately it was kind of hurting my productivity. It was slow and immobile, and given how often I travel it made things very difficult for me. I decided to go all out and buy a top of the line machine, and the difference its made already has been incredible. I'm able to do way more than I was before, and I can't wait to take advantage of that to share more things with you. While I will be using some of my earnings from the previously mentioned day job to pay off my debt, your support through Patreon will also be helping me chip away at what I owe as well. I'll still be using your support to pick up other kinds of supplies to give back to you guys a little bit more, but this computer is an important supply as well! Because of all these great things that have happened, it also opens up the door for me to give you new kinds of content. Now that I have a smaller backlog to tend to, I would like to start using this as a space to write more. I used to write all the time and have been wanting to get back into that habit for a while but I know tiny steps are so important! I do intend to eventually launch a public blog, but until then I want to give my Patrons even more exclusive content. In return, I hope you'll be active commenters and help me grow as I try to get comfortable expressing myself through writing again. I'll have some more cool news soon! Let's keep working hard and making great things!!

Hey, this is no goof! It may be a day for pranks and misinformation, but this post actually IS free and it IS full of photos I've posted over the past month! Last month saw a lot of me trying to make the best out of bad lighting situations by practicing with black and white, seeing a lot of folks for the first time ever, and a particularly impressive set of The Felice Brothers. I think I learned a lot about how to get the most out of the conditions I'm shooting in when it's not really ideal for me to be using my flash and I look forward to putting these theories to the test in the future. Please do enjoy this free sample of what I spent last month working on, and if you like what you see I hope you'll consider supporting me as a Patron!
