Hooks and Splinters... I love the feeling when the pain goes away

About Me

I'm a freelance photographer currently living in West Michigan. I've been shooting concerts for 7 years thanks to a very good friend, Andy O'Riley . I am the house photographer for the Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, Mi. and I also shoot for MidWest Excess and the KLQ Metal Show .

Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas

DILIGENTIA=ACCURACY: Just the way music has to be! I love it when a band is so tight it sends chills down my spine.

VIS=POWER Unmerciful waves of sound so brutal they leave you gasping for air.

CELERITAS=SPEED Speed alone does not make for a good band but when combined with the above two pieces of the puzzle it results an energy that is second to none.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


After seeing Marta perform live at Ozzfest 2006 I instantly was captured by her beauty and talent. Luana is the vocalist for a hot new band out of Italy, Belledonna who are well on their way to the top. I just hope they come to the US real soon. Nadja, former bass player for Coal Chamber still sits on top of people I'd love to meet. Mesmerized by her on stage performance, I was instantly awestruck.

Beneath the hanging tree

As darkenss fell across the skies, Anticipation in my eyes,The branch was strong, the rope was right,For me to hang that starless night.The rain had stopped, my friends were there,My turn was up to fi...
