My thanks to everyone that took part in, or watched the Rusty Barkley tribute today in Mooresville. The good ones sadly do not live forever, but the love and lives that we share do. Here's to you, Rusty, until the next time I photograph you.

Love to all, see you soon, and see you on the road.

Recent Events, October 20th

 This past week. Whew.

Photographed anywhere from two to events a day for the past week, produced two songs to round out Phil Lee's forthcoming album with the Mannish Boys, finished work on another album for release in the coming months, and got to listen to a lost album from a 60s artist that I recently helped in locating. Ah, the thrill of listening to recordings that you never thought you would, as you feel the late-night rush of exhilaration and sleep deprivation.

And so much more, which I hope to tell you about soon.

Here's to those traveling faster than the speed of life. See you soon, and see you on the road.
