Recent Events

 Sunday, photos of Mitch Easter and gang at the Fidelitorium, as they prep for their fantabulous show at the RamKat this coming Saturday. What an amazing afternoon. Then back to Charlotte for Sam On Someday at the Evening Muse.

Monday, up to Kannapolis to host Peter Holsapple, Will Rigby, Bob Northcott and other groovy Reynolds HS friends as they toured the NC Music Hall Of Fame, then joined them as they all raced slotcars. If I ever grow up, I want to be you guys.

Lots going on. Hang in there, stick around, and I will see you soon, and see you on the road.

Beatles? Transcendental meditation, and the the 1960s? Yes, let's discuss.

Peace and love, love and mercy.

RIP Charlotte Magazine

 I have been a freelance photographer, and occasional writer for Charlotte Magazine since 1998. Mark Lynch introduced me to then publisher Rick Thurmond at a show in 1998, and I convinced Rick (and myself) that I could photograph events, as well as crazy Rock & Roll bands.

Many people messaged and emailed me on Thursday night, and asked me how I felt about the Magazine closing its doors. Despite my history with Charlotte Magazine, I don't feel sorry for this era of my life coming to an end. I feel sorry for those that will have to spend the holiday season searching for another job, and I feel sorry for the non-profits and for profits that I was able to feature in the Magazine's Spotted section every month, knowing that another outlet for covering what's around us has slipped from our fingers.

In the end, we can lament its loss, but also be grateful that Charlotte Magazine existed, changing the lives of some of us, myself included, for the better.

Here's to what has been, what has gone, and the hope for what comes next. Here's to Charlotte Magazine, in all of its colors and moments.
