RETRO REVIEWS
Iron Maiden – Fear of the Dark
I was first exposed to Iron Maiden in Mr Miller’s middle school art class where he let students paint 7' x 7' album covers on the wall. If they were great, they would remain. Eddie was painted in his padded cell for 1983’s Piece of Mind for all three years I was there. In my head he still remains. I graduated high school in May of 1992. Iron Maiden had already released 8 albums, and established Bruce Dickinson as their lead singer for 10 years by the time Fear of the Dark was released that same month.

Before / After – Old Crow Medicine Show
Being proactive rather than reactive and being able to predict where the angle will be at different moments during a show is something that comes from experience. It's more of a feeling of what's coming rather than any sort of empirical knowledge. Sometimes, though, there are bands where every second of a the set is an action packed moment. Whether that's because they are particularly active on stage, or have amazing production, or a large number of members... there's always something amazing to point your camera at. In those moments, it's about following the energy and the flow of the set. Old Crow Medicine Show is one of those bands. Every time I have photographed them I walk away satisfied that I got some killer shots, but also knowing that I missed a ton of opportunities because there are simply too many for one person to capture.
