2014 is coming to a close, time for a little reflection and\u00a0the obligatory year-end review. \u00a0It was a busy one and narrowing down the images is not easy, especially when you put 20,000 clicks on your shutter. \u00a0I saw countless trails, trees, and fungi in parks on the city, county, state and even national level. \u00a0I continued to point my camera at anything rusty, flaking, moldy, or generally in a decrepit state. \u00a0And I furthered my journey\u00a0down the rabbit hole of weird, time-based experimenting and long exposure 4d melting.<\/p>\n
But, more than anything, I shot a lot of concerts. \u00a0Specifically, I shot 146 bands on 19 different stages, 24 concerts, and 5 multiple day music festivals.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everyone that walked through the woods with me, putting up with my incessant stopping and side routes. \u00a0Thanks to everyone at Cincymusic.com<\/a> – especially Kelly Painter for dealing with the endless email\/text\/messenger requests for photo passes, Bill Donabedian and Michael Kearns at Bunbury\/Buckle Up Festivals, Scott Preston at Cincygroove.com<\/a>, and Jonathan Newsome at Unsung Melody<\/a> for letting me shoot the music that I love so much. \u00a0And a huge round of applause for all the\u00a0photographers at CincyMusic and The Alliance of Music Photographers FB group. \u00a0Endless talent in a small and competitive pool, yet welcoming, sharing, and friendly as they come. \u00a0You all\u00a0make me a better photographer.<\/p>\n In no particular order, these are my 60 favorites from 2014.<\/p>\n\t\t\t
