Performance photography has since become an essential part of my skillset and professional growth. I owe it in large part to Boulevardia. We're sad to see it end, but we're honored to have been there for so many amazing moments.

Thanks for everything, Boulevardia.

Music is love.

The culture and energy of Boulevardia was invaluable for learning how to capture a fleeting moment. It was the source of many firsts: my first real photo pit, my first VIP credentials, my first gig at a festival.

We've been fortunate to have spent the past three summers documenting and celebrating our community at Boulevardia.

Since Mardi Gras 2023, I’ve built relationships like this with a bunch of other performing artists and organizations too. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year brings.

We've grown together over the past two years, through lineup changes, good and bad (and terrible!) stage lighting, and other ups and downs. We’ve grown in this industry, in this community. Together.

That night at The Ship was the start of my concert photography career. That event inspired me to add photography to my business, which is now one of the most popular services I offer.

Last week I joined them again at the same event, this time with new camera lenses and two more years of experience.

Two years ago, I kind of accidentally photographed my first concert. I joined Back Alley Brass Band at their Mardi Gras show to photograph the T-shirt I designed for them. At some point, I ended up turning my camera towards them and shooting their whole set.

We're not going to "stick to design" either.

Art in all its forms is resistance. That's the business we're in and we're 10 toes down.
This is the Ben & Jerry’s video that has folks talking and MAGA losing their shit!

We need to support @benandjerrys y’all, because we don’t ever want them to “stick to just the ice cream”. 👀

Keep making art, my friends. Creation and imagination are acts of defiance when the status quo is conformity and destruction.

This is exactly why @efg.xyz exists in the performing arts sector the way we do (with a crowdfunded assistance program to make our services affordable for artists and nonprofits).

This is what we mean when we say our ultimate goal is to sustain our performing arts community. We're proud to be a part of this movement.

//Real talk, being a musician is exhausting. No one knows how much work goes into it until you do it. If you care about a band or artist, buy their music. Buy their merch. Tell them that you appreciate them. Support your local scene.
