Retro Review: Steely Dan – The Royal Scam
My first exposure to Steely Dan was through the 1985 compilation A Decade of Steely Dan that I got when I was probably 13 or 14 upon the recommendation of a former bass teacher. I was in full grunge mode, listening almost exclusively to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, et al.. Still, I was beginning to have my mind opened to fusion via Weather Report and the more jazzy side of rock with Chicago and Steely Dan. It's safe to say that I was probably one of the few young teenagers wearing a Nirvana shirt with a flannel over it while singing along to Deacon Blues in my room.

Before / After – The Kills
This is one of the more dramatic transformations I've done in a long time. It was my first time photographing The Kills, so I'm not sure if this is their typical lighting look, but it was definitely a challenge to work quickly in the three songs. I was almost constantly flipping around settings. For my first show in nearly two months, it was a bit nerve-wracking, but that's part of the fun. In fact, the most difficult shows to shoot often yield the most exciting results because they are unpredictable and unique.
