I snapped this last week during Black Out Tuesday. Behind me, the protest, in front of me the Capitol. I roamed around the city snapping pics and taking in my community. While roaming around it dawned on me that I have no idea who the people in charge of my community are. I couldn’t tell you one city council member’s name, let alone who the mayor is. Change starts at home. Educate yourself with your local politicians, do your research, and when it’s time to vote, vote!!! Once elected into office hold them accountable for why they are there and be involved with the processes. Black Lives Matter and more than ever, now is the time to change the world. There is no reason to tolerate hatred anymore. It’s ugly, disgusting and a waste of energy and time. I pledge to do my part to make this world a better place and I hope all who read this do as well.

While chasing the guys around the world to create Whereabouts Unknown I always enjoyed watching Barns behind the kit. I didn't realize power and grace could flow together so well. The chains hooked to the kick drum are there so it doesn't go flying into the front row. I snapped this photo for the book in Las Vegas, NV on November 21, 2015. It was so cold that night in Vegas and Rise Against was playing an outdoor show that was completely sold out. We had a tent as a dressing room with a space heater that put out less heat than a freezer.  None of this affected the guys. They rolled out on the stage and melted faces!

I always wanted to capture Chris Cornell through the lens and seven years ago on my birthday I had the opportunity to do just that. They were headlining Rock on the Range and I had three songs to capture the energy known as Soundgarden. Was such a highlight for me. Basically you couldn't have asked for a better 40th birthday! I couldn't wait to shoot Chris again. In 2017 I was supposed to be on tour with The Pretty Reckless while they were opening for Soundgarden. Due to prior commitments I couldn't join them until May 18th. Their last official show of the Soundgarden tour was May 17th but they were going to be doing some festivals together.  I woke up on my birthday to the news of Chris passing and didn't believe it. I jumped on a plane to Newark, NJ from Salt Lake City, UT to meet up with Taylor and the boys. When I landed I learned the news was true and was shocked and heartbroken along with the rest of the world. The TPR manager called me and told me to jump on a plane back to Salt Lake City. I took a cab to JFK in New York and flew home. Now every year on my birthday I pull out all my Soundgarden and Audioslave vinyl records and play them all day. I look back through the photos I shot back in 2013 and feel forever thankful for that day. Thank you, Chris, for your voice, your passion, and your unfiltered passion that has inspired so many. 

Happy Birthday Chester! Today we celebrate the music and the life of Chester Bennington. He would have been 44 years old today. I've been listening to Linkin Park all day and taking in this talented soul. The photo below I snapped during Linkin Park's performance back in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. Probably my favorite shot I've snapped over Chester. -Rob

​I am extremely excited to announce that the Historic Main Street location of Cut & Scratch in Payson, UT will now be owned and operated by Michael “The 5¢ Barber” Greenwood and known as “The 5¢ Barber Shop”. I couldn’t be more proud to have someone who treated my shop as it was his own be able to have his own shop. The 5¢ Barber Shop will have a unique old school vibe and great quality service. Thank you Micheal for everything you’ve done for Cut & Scratch, you truly made the shop better the day you started. 

I would also like to thank the community for treating us so well. We made a lot of amazing memories while we were there. Cut & Scratch’s next adventure starts in Downtown Salt Lake City. Stay tuned for that madness coming soon!!!

All the best,

Rob

Rolled into Nampa, ID today and couldn't believe how little snow there was on this drive. When we left Montana last night the snow was coming down. Today I woke up early and sat in the front seat of the bus and enjoyed the sunshine, my coffee and a camel non filter. One of my favorite things to do is ride up front and see the scenery.

 The show was at the Ford Idaho Sports Center and the crowd went nuts! All three bands tore it up as usual. It was also Keith's Birthday, so not only did his wife surprise him with a birthday cake on stage, but the band and crew throw a surprise party for him after the show. Great time with great people. Day off tomorrow and then we hit Spokane, WA.

Rockford, IL is always a riot!

This was the first show I shot Korn on the Winter Tour 2020 with Breaking Benjamin and Bones UK. I have been very lucky to tour with this band in the past, and I have never seen a show that they didn't bring it 100% on stage. I always love seeing the crowd react to them. Complete INSANITY!!!

Halestorm tore it up in Cardiff, Wales on the Carnival of Madness UK! 

Highly Suspect soundcheck in Cardiff on the Carnival of Madness UK run. Dig these guys a lot!

Black Stone Cherry kicked off their headlining run of Carnival of Madness UK in Cardiff to an insane crowd. One of my favorite moments was when LZZY Hale came out and sang "Peace is Free" with them.

This was the first show of the Carnival of Madness UK that kicked off in Cardiff, Wales.

I shot Tom Keifer in Miami, FL for the Def Leppard Cruise pre party. No photo pit, so it was free range of roaming around the club. Love shooting shows like this. It seems more raw and rock n roll at times. Plus for me, Tom Keifer is the reason I picked up a guitar when I was a teenager. So I was able to hang with one of my music idols and influences. Surreal night!

Love shooting Zakk and the boys. It was cool to see them do the stripped down version unBlackend at the Depot.

Red Rocks Amphitheater is my favorite venue in the world! It was so cool to see the Mayhem Tour make a stop here. Korn came out as the sun was going down and melting faces with a brutal performance. Still can't believe I was able to shoot this show. The fans went insane from the start to finish!

Love Red Rocks, and love was in the air. One of the Rockstar Energy guys, Beau, proposed on stage during Avenged Sevenfold's set with the help of M. Shadows. She said yes! 

This was my first time in Witzikon. What a fun crowd. Before the show I was able to snap a crew shot and a shot of Powerman 5000 and Rob and the guys together. J5 was sick and almost didn't play but powered through it. You wouldn't known by the performance and the crowd reaction. RZ jumped into the pit with the crowd and sang "Never Gonna Stop" while they all went insane. 

This was the first time for me shooting Queens of the Stone Age. They were performing at the Joint in Las Vegas, NV. I was only allowed to shoot from the front corner of the stage but didn't care because I had been wanting to see their live performance for awhile. Josh rolled out and took a sip of whiskey, fired up his guitar and the show was on. It was none stop cool and a night of music I'll never forget.

It was absolutely insane to shoot Rock Royalty such as Alice Cooper. His performance was entertaining from start to finish. Marilyn Manson even made an appearance and came out and sung "Eighteen" with Coop!

AIC came out and wreaked the crowd at Rock on the Range!!! It was so surreal to see them live again. I snapped the first couple of songs and then watch the rest of the set.

The first time I shot Slayer it happens to be the first time I go to Tokyo, Japan!!! What an amazing experience. Slayer was heavy fast and amazing, the crowd didn't stop. As for the city, it has to be one of my top 3 favorite places I ever have been. Would totally live in Japan. The people, the food, and the culture is such an amazing experience.  

Lubbock, TX is always insane!!! This was the biggest crowd surfing crowd of the tour. From the first note the the last Lubbock doesn't stop.

What a surreal night!!! Slash, Myles and LZZY on the same stage singing "You're So Crazy" in Amsterdam. It's night like these that I can't believe I get to do this for a living.
