My Year in Photos 2017

While 2017 hasn't been a great year for me in general, music wise it has been quite good although I did have to take some time off from the scene (and skip the VNV Nation show) to grieve after my father passed away this summer. Here are some of my favorite photos from the shows I have attended this year. I will let them speak for themselves.  I have to admit the PIG show was the highlight of my year since I finally got to meet an idol of mine...Raymond Watts.

Kite at Amsterdam Bar and Hall

Kite whose members are Nicolas Stenemo and Christian Berg. They were wonderful. Got to chat with Christian for a bit before the show which was cool. They are cool guys who are incredibly talented as hell. Go check them out if they come to town. #kitetheband #synthpop #concert #concertphotography #livemusic #igers #igphotography #igshotz #instagram #photography #phototag
