Pretty weak roster this year as I shot one music festival and one local act. Still, it was fun and I am grateful for the chance to photograph musicians doing what they do best and it is what I do best. Mount Baker Blues Festival, you rock. And, thanks to the Jasmine Greene Band for allowing me to be a part of the experience.
Hi-res jpg images can be seen at my photography website.

Okay, I know, it is still 2013 so I am ahead of the game. Well, sorta. I only shot two music festivals plus a local band this year so I don’t have much material. But, still, there are some good ones even though I am still editing the ones from Rockfest.

Better late than never I present: my Best RockstarImages of 2012 in 2013. On my website (www.clikrf8images.com), I uploaded what I considered to be my 50 best Rockstar images from 2012. Waaay too many images to post on a blog forces me to whittle that number to a more manageable 20.

Here are what I consider to be my best work in music photography this year. Looking back on 2010, I have improved during 2011 and thus will include 12 images instead of 10.

Choosing which ten images from the performers I photographed in 2010 was a challenge. The following are what I liked today. Tomorrow would include a different roster.

Collective Soul

Fred Durst * Limp Biskit

Shane Dwight

Rick Estrin

Alice In Chains
