What seems like forever, I made my way back to Lancaster, PA. It seems like my photography routing from last year is repeating this year.

I wasn’t too familiar with this band,… Read More Against Me! / The Sidekicks / The Shondes – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 1/11/14
The pressures of school work and work life have begun, but even though I shouldn’t risk it, it is nice to have a night out during the week. Especially if it is just seeing an acoustic concert.

This is how I sought out music growing… Read More The Starting Line – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 12/29/13
This past year I gave myself a photo project to make the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost come to life. The photos are not perfect, for I am not a photographer, but I think I captured what I was trying to do each month. Here is the inspiration behind the project: Since… Read More The Road Not Taken Comes To Life
The first and last time I saw Bane live was at This Is Hardcore 2011 in Philadelphia, PA.
