Iggy Pop and the Stooges - The Michigan Theater

Last night I was afforded the opportunity to photograph a rock legend. Iggy Pop, along with the Stooges, played a sold-out tribute show for the late Ron Asheton, the Stooges' original guitarist. It was a homecoming for Iggy, as the original group formed in Ann Arbor in 1967.

This job has allowed me to witness and photograph some amazing acts, performers and musicians. And I like to believe I've seen some great rock shows during my more active concert going days. But it wasn't until last night that I ever experienced a real ROCK show. The venue, the crowd, the energy and most definitely the performance combined and it was the real deal.

Mouse heads are the new black

Looks like I can check 1) attending a rave and 2) see a grown man wear a giant light-up mouse head off my long list of things to accomplish in life!

I was assigned by AnnArbor.com to shoot DJ deadmau5 at Eastern Michigan last weekend. He has a devoted following of young, neon-wearing dance types and they came out dressed to the nines for his performance. Speaking of, he perfrom high atop the stage looking down from a massive cube-like structure covered in LED lights. It was quite the visual show.
