It's been another great year for me photographing concerts here in Denver. Selecting photos for this post is always a joy, but so difficult. There were a plethora of fantastic shows in 2018, but I have to say it definitely was the year for me…

I am lucky to call the band My Body Sings Electric friends. So, when we were cooking up the idea for Birthaversary and selecting bands to play, they were my first choice. Extra luckily, they agreed – and will be headlining the show tomorrow night.…

Gogol Bordello calls themselves "gypsy punk." The term is right on target because they are a troop of free spirits who jump all night and get the whole crowd to stomp along with them. The band is transnational but was formed in New York City…

I was lucky enough to see the Misfits reunion at Denver's Riot Fest in 2016. Which, don't get me wrong, was really fun - but seeing punk bands in a small venue like the Bluebird Theater is a whole different thing. Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein brought…

We head back to London soon, and I have been working on our packing list. I realized you all could benefit from my Type-A personality, so I will share a printable as well as a spreadsheet that you can build on yourself. I did not…

Both Bryan and I grew up in Maryland, and when you are from Maryland, you eat Maryland steamed crabs. But since we moved to Denver 24 years ago, we were a little rusty on the best places to go. Over the past year or so,…

Note: YMCA of the Rockies provided our weekend stay. All words and photos are mine. I love Estes Park as a destination. There is an adorable downtown area, and it's right at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I also love YMCA of the…

We are always up for a good deal and when I got a notification that Villa Del Palmar Cancun was on sale right after the New Year, I couldn't resist a quick trip back down to the ocean. Bryan was banned from our girls-only trip in…

In the old days, I used this blog to share the personal details of our lives, especially with my family back east. I also used it just to save my memories since I have so much trouble remembering things. I have vowed to get back…

My family always gathered at Mom's house for Christmas Eve. I think it started from having large sections of my Dad's family to visit on Christmas Day, but the tradition continued my whole life, until even now with our best friends here in Denver. Christmas…

I reach out to your office often and I feel like all I get back is form letters, so now I am taking to my blog to talk to you. I have seen in the news that it's probable you are going to vote "yes"…

We shipped one of those Pod things from my aunt's house in MD and it arrived safely today. Mostly we sent mundane stuff like the mattress Heidi had just purchased so Dex can finally have a new bed. But the single most important thing to…

Everyone likes P!NK. I mean, how can you not? She is a great singer and a bad-ass chick. I'd always heard she was good in concert but let me correct you on that one. PINK is FUCKING GREAT in concert. I like her music, but…

The past year was hard for me personally, as it was for much of America. The good news is, music helps you through the tough times (Related: 2017 Playlist). And while I certainly didn't attend as many concerts as last year, I had a great…

Wow. Day two of Lost Lake Festival really kicked it into gear. The crowds were measurably larger - I am sure in part that it was a Saturday, and also certainly due to the killer (hahaha) lineup. I had so many photos; below is only…

I have been a concert photographer around Denver for about eight years and it's been an amazing ride. I love photographing every kind of band in every kind of venue - and I have even started traveling to do it. Here in Denver, we have…
