About this Blog
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a rock photographer. All my friends wanted to be Eddie Van Halen, but I wanted to be the guy who was shooting Eddie Van Halen. I seemed to always want to collect things, to document things – to somehow hold on to that moment and make it last forever. From old gig flyers to concert jerseys to programs and more. For the past 20 years, I must have taken between two and three million photographs of musicians in concert, backstage, on the road and in the studio. I’m not sure why photography is so important to me. I guess I hate to see great moments in life disappear. And rock & roll has given me most of the great moments of my life. So the best thing I can do is capture rock&roll on film. That’s what I’ve spent my entire working life doing, and I’m grateful to have the ability to share my work with the world.

Hey Kevin, do you take requests? If so, do you have any pix of the notorious Slayer show at the Hollywood Palladium, around the summer of ‘87, for the “South of Heaven” tour? I recall there was a bit of a riot outside the venue because of the ticket situation: oversold? not enough? But inside was sheer mayhem, the scariest show I have still ever attended in 25 years of concert-going. One of my top 3 favorite concerts ever!

Awesome Site Kevin!
Not sure you remember me, you were my contact at Hollywood during the early 90s (around the time you had gotten married, the big earth quake, etc.). The best part about your blog is reliving some of the conversations we had, at the time you had just finished shouting Kiss for Alive III promo pics, and I asked you if you would prefer to see the original Sabbath or Kiss get back together again. Who knew both would soon be upon us a few years after! Seeing the VH pics were also great, you did mention that they were your band back then. Anyway, great to find you on the web after all of these years.
