Rock On!


2017 photo100 – #6

This shot is from my first-ever stadium rock show, Boston, in 1979. The film stock was Illford HP5 ‘pushed’ beyond any resonable (at the time) speed of 3200 ISO. I remember not being able to hear too well for a few days and hearing some guy called ‘Sammy Haggar’ as the openning act.

You’d make that face too if you had a mic stuck up your nose.


photo100 – #77

My first rock concert – Boston at Wing’s Stadium in Kalamazoo (yes folks, there really is a Kalamazoo). I borrowed the ‘big lens’ (135mm) from the school and then wormed my way down to the floor in front of the band.

My ears rang for days.

photo365 – Day 286

In a shaded corner of the Boston Common is a small graveyard dating back to the early 19th century. Most of the markers have eroded away over time, some broken. It is fascinating to read them. Many are quite detailed and rather macabre.
