Metallica

Metallica came to K.C. for the "Death Magnetic" tour recently. I got my excercise running around their ginormous stage, getting a few really good shots.

iTunes chart topping Coldplay came to KC to play to a sold out crowd.

President Elect Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to President Elect Barack Obama on his landslide victory!

I was cautiously optimistic that it would be a large victory but I wasn't sure until I saw it actually happen. We have watched history happen right before our eyes. Now is a time to put our differences aside and begin to heal this country. I couldn't be more happy right now. It will hard work to repair all that has happened in the last eight years....but I think we are on the right track now.
It was the first time I was inspired enough to vote and I'm glad I did.

Santogold photos

I forgot to post a few Santogold photos I took from last months concert in Lawrence at Liberty Hall.

David Byrne Concert Photos

David Byrne performed at the Uptown last Sunday to a polite reserve seated audience. I will have to say, it was probably the most peaceful show I have been to ever. No hassles from security or manager or crazy ass fans elbowing me in the noggin. The sound was crystal clear and David looked and sounded great.

Barack Obama Rally In Kansas City

Barack Obama held a rally in Kansas City Missouri on October 18th 2008. It was the second time in two months I was able to photograph him. Earlier in the day he spoke to an estimated crowd of 100,000 people in St.Louis. He arrived to the stage in KC at about 6:30pm and spoke to a reported 75,000 people at the Liberty Memorial in perfect fall weather. It was an awesome spectacle, people of all races and ages gathered together to say, "Yes we can!" Change is needed in the country for sure, hopefully he will be elected and be successful.

NBA Pre season basketball

I tried my hand at sports photography for the first time. Shooting NBA basketball is harder than concerts...the light, the action and speed is completely different. I wanted to get a good look at 2007 first round pick Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers. He was injured all of last year so these first few games were some of his first action. Here are a few photos of the exhibition game in Kansas City between the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trailblazers.
