This is my favorite...funny thing is it is of me. I set up the shot and had a friend take it on our trip to Nashville a couple of years ago. It was with a simple point and shoot.

Taygull, I have a folder on my desktop and it's filled with images I find on the net that inspire me (via right click and save as). This image is in there. It's fantastic! Oh, and I promise I don't share it or post anywhere.

Here's one of my faves from Night Ranger. I like it because the 'pose' is great, the WB is there, it was shot at ISO3200 with my t3i, which I thought would come out horrendous, and it was my first time using my 24-105.

Hanzel & Gretyl. I'm partial to this one because it is one of the few that I actually thought about going for instead of just reacting to what was right in front of me.

Josh Landau of The Shrine (really tough lighting for this one..barely any front lighting to speak of. i think this is about the only shot I got where you can see his face cleanly)

First attempt at with this disco/stage kind of lighting and I like this photo because his overall expression with the guitar.

Ben Wells (guitar) of Black Stone Cherry, July 20, 2013. It was fun chasing him around stage.

Horrible LED lighting for these shots of a local band, but some of them came out OK.

Here's a good friend of mine. Took this shot a while ago. Not my favorite, but all I can link at the moment.
