NEWSFLASH!!!

After a few years of retirement, I have dusted off an old project that has been sitting idle and off-line since 2018, reviving my once-popular music e-zine, Front Row Focus!

The new FRF has been re-purposed and re-designed to optimize the integration of the site...

The final piece to the DSP social media daily theme puzzle has arrived!

Introducing... Shout-out Sundays on the DSP social media channels!

What does that mean?

Every Sunday, I will give a shout-out to someone -- a client, a fellow photographer, a favorite band / artist, a cherished local...

There's been (another) change of plans for the DSP social media weekly schedule...

About a month ago, when I made the initial announcement about my plans to work with daily "themes" for my the DSP social media sites, Fridays were going to be "Free For All Fridays", where I would basically leave...

Another day, another DSP social media theme...

If you have been paying attention to the DSP social media streams on Instagram, Facebook (business page), and LinkedIn, and you have already read my recent got f-stop? blog post about my 2024 social media plans (click here), then you are aware that...

We've all heard of "the cat lady", right?

Well, I would like to formally introduce myself as "the book guy".

Like the cat lady taking in any feline looking for a home, I'm known to home countless books, and despite having about a hundred lying around my office and home that I have yet...

Is the vagabond in you looking for some travel inspiration?

Though I don't tend to travel a much as I once did (NOTE: That may change at any time!), the DSP archives are chock full of images from my worldly travels over the past 20+ years, ranging from my pre-professional-photographer days when I...

Do you dread Mondays?

If you're like most people, then the answer is probably a resounding "Yes!".

Well, as I detailed in a recent got f-stop? blog post, starting in January 2024, DSP is here to help in its own little way. Every Monday (well, most of them, anyway), I will be posting an...

What's new for DSP in 2024, you ask?

Well, a lot, that's what!

In the coming weeks, I'll be making a series of announcements about some major (and some minor) developments with the business and the services that I offer. Yes, I'll be blogging about it here on got f-stop?, but if you want to keep...

Another year, another stellar series of summer concerts at Beech Mountain Resort in Western North Carolina.

It's hard for me to put into words how grateful I am to be the house photographer for these events for the past two summers. It's been an absolute pleasure collaborating with the marketing...

It's not about you. It's not about you. It's not about you.

If you were to ask a random sample of music photographers why they do what they do, at least nine out of ten of them would say, "Because it's fun!", or, "I love live music, and get to see my favorite bands up close and personal!"

Not...

They say that time flies when you're having fun.

Well, then I must have had a good ole time in 2022 because I can't believe that it was a year ago today that I went stomping through my neighborhood in over 15" of fresh snow blanketing Downtown Brevard, North Carolina, on a mission to capture...

It's official. Live music is back. And, in the year 2022, it came back with a vengeance. 

And, I've been fortunate enough to be part of that come-back, documenting countless concerts and festivals over the course of the year, mostly as part of my "house photographer" duties at the ...
