my favorite music photos of 2018

Post by tinnitus photography »

i shot a bit less this year as compared to previous years, but still covered a lot of ground... 55 shows and four festivals, in five different countries. plus, i went to a few shows without my camera (John Cale, Liz Phair, Pearl Jam, and I think I am forgetting one or two others). i think most people know i do this because i love to and not because i'm trying to reach any finite goals, but i did tick off a couple of them this year. First, i got to go out on tour with a band, if only for three shows. but those shows were amazing and it was really an incredible experience. i'm grateful to Al, Jason, Matt and Damon for making this happen. It came at a time when i really needed something like this. secondly, although it didn't happen while i was on tour in Europe but i finally did get about 45 seconds with the band to do a very quick shoot at muddy roots, yielding a photo they are now using for press. thirdly, and most importantly, i got to see some really good shows with otis. i'm glad our tastes overlap to the extent they do, and i am happy to have him as a gig partner for any show.


I went through all of my online galleries to pull out ones that i liked the best... there wasn't any rhyme or reason to this. I didn't select one from each band, and tried to limit to just a single photo but sometimes this wasn't possible. so yeah, sue me for my self-indulgence. here's a baker's dozen (+1, natch) of my favorites, with a link to the entire collection if you wanna browse through 100+ photos any time soon.
