Spotlights are the epitome of Fame.
The rock subjects that I respect and choose to photograph have earned their Fame through their persistent pursuit of their uniquely talented Craft.
I love to photograph them in the glare of spotlights. Spotlights anchors my images.
Sometimes I even shoot into the spotlights.
The photo purists say No, No!
I say Other Wise!
Please enjoy my Spotlights photo series.

A second after I photographed this image, the spotlights scattered in different directions. I call this image the Chop Chop shot!
One important personal rule – whenever I have a “money shot” opportunity in front of me – In ONE Second, Take The Shot!
