BEST 20 Rockstar Images of 2014

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.
