That's a pretty intense thing to say. Do you work for @bsky.app and have you met most of their staff?

In May, I will further heal my inner child by going to see my musical heroes AC/DC at Gillette with my pop and brother 44 years after we saw them for the first time on the For Those About To Rock tour at the Boston Garden in December 1981. I shot these in 2015 at Gillette. 🤞🏻 for a photo pass in May.

More anti-doomscrolling content... I had an amazing time roaming the streets of Amsterdam, visiting friends, and imagining what it would be like to live here.

Thank you! I hope to get a chance to do it too.

🤩😍 gorgeous location and shot

Also, as it turns out, their guitar player Dan Miller and I have both played in the same band (but not at the same time) at one point - Populuxe. Small world!

In December, I was lucky enough to see and 📸 @tmbg.bsky.social at the Orpheum Theater in Boston for @stubstories.net. The Johns and band sounded so great! The last time I saw them was 1990 at Malibu on Long Island and they had to stop their show during Ana Ng to ask people to stop crowd surfing.

Another day, more beauty. after years of photographing live music, I decided to try my hand/lens at astrophotography. I've been obsessed with space and the space program since I was a kid and it makes me very happy to take pictures like these.

I'm going to do my level best to only post beautiful things here because there is way too much doom to scroll. These are from my trip to Venice, Florence, and Rome.

Eternal ups to @flavorflav.bsky.social for doing the good work! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 I've been a huge fan of Flav and @publicenemyno1.bsky.social since the late 80s and it genuinely warms my heart to see them still active and still vital, especially when we need it the most.

Good morning. Thank you for the picture and the quote. I'm struggling pretty hard right now and any/all reminders of actual beauty in this world are so welcome and so needed. Where is that pic from?

I ❤️ LA

Life is hard. Here's Leo.

I just cancelled my TikTok account, which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things I suppose, but it does to me.

After many years as a loyal @dansavage.bsky.social magnum sub, I wanted to make it official. Dan and his guests have been a North star in my imperfect straight cis het white guy life, helping to expand my GGG repertoire, my universe, and my understanding of the people around me.

🙌🏻🙌🏻

Super impressed by people such as yourself who can work a pencil or a paintbrush so incredibly well. I can barely sign my name😂

Holy shit that's amazing

Holy shit

I hear you. I shot in small clubs for a long time until I finally got my chance to start shooting for bigger ones.

Thank you for your kind words! Just keep 📸 - that's what I did!

I wanted my first post here to be something happy and few things have made me happier recently than the new @thecure.com album. Absolutely stunning. Photographing them at Xfinity Center in MA last year (my first ever Cure show) was a photo career highlight.
