..September 2009 New York, Paris, Tokyo, Vladivostok..

You can’t learn to Love someone.

Vladivostok… the lonely forgotten port empire sitting on the End of Nowhere. Who are you? You vex my dreams and nightmares.

If I could get there in a minute and get back in 2 minutes, I would stay for 3 minutes. A point on the way to another destination. What’s down there, what does it feel like?

You’ve been forgotten by Everyone. Except for those who make the trip to the Edge of the World. I can’t get You out of my mind. And I want to forget you.

AC/DC

June 1st, 2010

..December 2008 New York..

Soon after arriving home from a long trip in Japan. Fortunate to cover the AC/DC tour for Mix Magazine. One of the biggest bands I’ve worked with.

Loud, loudest….A stage full of Marshall amps, double decked across the back of the stage and hanging from the top of the arena. The loudest wall of sound imaginable. The sounds thumped in my ears. The ear plugs did nothing. When I walked outside the venue and took my ear plugs out, the sound was still deafening. I can’t imagine how loud it was for the crowd without ear plugs. A big arena rock band. Pyro-techniques and a huge locomotive train on stage with smoke.

One of my favorite assignments! Much better than the previous assignment covering Janet Jackson.

Marilyn Manson

May 20th, 2010

..November 2004.. ..Roseland Ballroom, New York..

Marilyn Manson, one of the last tours I covered for Outburn Magazine.

Some of the photos remind me of when I photographed Perry Farrell 7 years before.

Was one of the best tours I covered. It felt exciting for me again. Like when I first started shooting tours. When I’m photographing a big performer like Marilyn Manson, the camera seems to move faster.

Was surprised to see how young the crowd was. During the 4th song of the set, the power went out on the mic and amps for about 5 seconds, while they were playing a Depeche Mode cover. Odd thing was no one seemed to notice as the crowd just continued to sway violently back and forth without interruption.
