A look back to the end of summer when Mariam and I managed a little weekend getaway to Rehoboth. With the temperatures falling and light fading I’m starting to miss these warmer days!
WOLF EYES - the gladly welcomed return to Baltimore of noise masters Nate Young & John Olson (8/3/25) I was working through a cracked molar (which has since been extracted) while shooting this show, but it had been so long since I had seen everyone on this lineup that I would be devastated to miss it!
Darsombra at ShakeMore Festival (2025) - a performance that couldn’t have been on a more beautiful evening. The open air, clear sky with the stars out, the projections reflecting off the pool (I snapped most of these early so I could jump in the water and float with the music) - just a perfect night.
ShakeMore Festival 2025 (Friday 7/18/25) - always a rejuvenating joy to return to this festival nestled amongst the farm lands of northern Carroll County. I don’t often get to make it to the Friday portion of this two-day event but I was glad I did this year. Here’s part 1 of a photo essay highlighting the performances, featuring:
