I had the great honor of shooting Motörhead twice in the last six years, and while it wasn’t always an easy shoot, with Lemmy spending a LOT of time with his face in the mic, it was always a fun shoot. I was able to meet the man while we interviewed him for ABORT Magazine in 2009, and he was quite the character. No bullshit, exactly what he was thinking is what he would say. A true class act if there ever was one.
Rest in Peace.
It’s been about six and a half years since Scott rocked the Commodore Ballroom with one of his solo projects. The man lived and breathed music, and that was more than evident through the powerful presence he commanded on stage. The music should be his legacy, not the demons he knew all too well.
Fred Penner. What can I say about Fred Penner. First, he is exactly the person he portrayed on television. A true positive force if there ever was one. Having shot both the Dalai Lama and Fred Penner, I can say without exaggeration, that they exude positivity through their every pore.
I had been a big fan of Fred since I was a young lad, and have no problem saying that when he was singing to the kids, I was sitting there on the floor there with them loving every minute of it. Perhaps appreciating it more in my “old” age. It was amazing. I shot a lot, but want to share a few while I can. I’ll probably share more in a portfolio later on, but found it important that these go up now.
Enjoy!
Wow, it has been over a year since I last updated. Be advised however that I have been quite busy this last entire year… There has been a lot of shoots, mostly weddings taking up my time, but I also spent a lot of time taking a step back from the events that I could have picked up to look at the bigger picture. However, when the Birdies for Babies tourney came up, I got the call to put on my Titleist hat and catch an awkward one sided sunburn (from driving the cart).
As always, this event was top notch, and I am always super happy to get this job done. Check out a few from the day, which was a while ago, but still fresh in my mind.
