I had the great pleasure of shootingAni Difranco at The Burton Cummings Theatre for guttersnipe this past Saturday evening. What a fiercely energetic guitarist Ani is! I am not surprised in the slightest that I heard someone yell out "Ani, you're my hero" from the audience, those who love Ani truly adore her!
Another guttersnipe assignment, this time for White Cowbell Oklahoma at The Royal Albert. This band is such a wild thing to witness; from chainsaws to free pouring Jägermeister down the throats of willing audience members, t'was a night of mayhem indeed!
I have in recent months been recruited to accompany Eugene Osudar to shows that he reviews for guttersnipenews.com. My photos can be found in and amongst the Winnipeg Rag segment. Here are some images from some of the gigs I've had the pleasure of shooting so far.
