Back in the day...
In the early 2000s, I started experimenting with photography using disposable cameras. I had one with me wherever I went, especially while playing drums with Charlie Hunter, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Marc Broussard, Jesse Malin, The Alternate Routes, and more. A few years ago, I brought all of undeveloped rolls out of storage. As I re-discover them, I’m sharing them with the world. Sneak peek below, and head over to the BACKSTAGE page for lots more. I'll be adding additional photos in the coming months, so be sure to check back for updates!
