Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”
― Hunter S. Thompson
Music is the soul, where would we be without it? It defines us, molds us and excites us and has been feeding our emotions with rhythm since the dawn of human existence. My real passion for music started in my early teens, Pop and RRock pleased me but it was the tail end of Punk and then Postpunk that defined me. Stage photography has not only rewarded me with working and photographing some of my musical heroes but also to discover new artists and sounds to this day. Here you can view a small selection of my contribution to this ever-evolving life of Rock N Roll History.
