Though I have never had the opportunity to photograph her, I always wished I'd had the chance. While the media coverage of her death has been ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2011/thoughts-about-amy-winehouse?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=thoughts-about-amy-winehouse THE MYSTIC KNIGHTS OF THE COBRA! Petaluma, CA. I'd never heard of it before this trip. It's about an hour or so north of the Bay Area, a part of CA I'd never explored before. So I hopped in the rental car, and drove through the scary torrential rain to the rolling ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2011/another-trip-west-of-texas-part-2-feb-18-19-2011?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-trip-west-of-texas-part-2-feb-18-19-2011 THE FRUSTRATORS!! I love New Jersey. I do, really. I love a lot of things about where I live. But sometimes, California calls my name. And once she starts calling, it's only a matter of time before I eventually break down, give in and go for a visit. So that's what I ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2011/another-trip-west-of-texas-part-1-feb-18-19-2011?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-trip-west-of-texas-part-1-feb-18-19-2011 [caption id="attachment_949" align="alignleft" width="800" caption="Beth and Alex on the grand staircase of the Tuscany Inn"][/caption] Beth and Alex got married on a positively spectacular day back in May. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day (or bride, for that matter!). Beth was radiant and literally glowed once she put ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/beth-and-alex-tie-the-knot-5-15-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beth-and-alex-tie-the-knot-5-15-10 I'm writing this blog post for a few reasons. First I need to be more diligently updating this thing, because I have SO much to post. I've been a crazy insane-o person this year, working more than I ever have in my life and doing fun rocknroll things that prevent ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/beautiful-things-exist-in-asbury-park-and-honah-lee?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beautiful-things-exist-in-asbury-park-and-honah-lee [caption id="attachment_894" align="alignleft" width="840" caption="Joe's still the man."][/caption] This Sunday I had a whirlwind day up in New York City. I took a quick break from the "editing cave" (holy cow I have a lot of editing in the queue) and headed up on the train in the wee hours of ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/sunday-was-awesome-as-fk-new-york-city-9-19-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sunday-was-awesome-as-fk-new-york-city-9-19-10 Recently our great friend Amanda held an art show up in Jersey City, and since she's going away to art school, she decided to hold a nice show closing event and featured Honah Lee to wrap things up. The space was small, hot and sweaty, but it was an awesome show. ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/honah-lee-gets-the-cops-called-9-2-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=honah-lee-gets-the-cops-called-9-2-10 You may or may not have heard of Prima Donna, hailing from Los Angeles. If you haven't heard their particular brand of sixties-ish Sonics era garage inspired rocknroll, do yourself a favor and change that. Like, right now. It's okay, go. I'll wait. Maybe pop open a new window and listen ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/prima-donna-kick-a-hole-in-the-khyber-7-28-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=prima-donna-kick-a-hole-in-the-khyber-7-28-10 After a wicked week of craziness, sadly our west coast friends had to make their way back to California. After a brutal hangover morning at home, Jim and Tanya and I shook off our hangovers temporarily to go and say goodbye to the Cobras before they headed back to the ... http://therocknrollpictureshow.com/2010/party-party-party-time-is-over-4-25-10?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=party-party-party-time-is-over-4-25-10 [caption id="attachment_830" align="alignleft" width="800" caption=""EYYYY SPAGHETTI HEAD!
