As a lifelong fan of blues and rock, especially music that's a perfect mix of both, I enjoy sharing the photos I take and the stories that I write about the shows with other fans. I've been doing this for 21 years now, starting out with a Joe Bonamassa show at a small venue to which I brought a cast-off digital camera and a homemade spaghetti dinner for the band. Since then I've had the good fortune to photograph many regional shows and festivals, big and small, witness and share the stories of the music makers, had a photo used for an album cover, and was in the documentary, A Year in the Pit: A Journey into Music Photography, and I'm very happy to be here as a contributor at ClevelandRockandRoll.com
