Fleetwood Mac

Rege Behe reviewed the show for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and noted that since Fleetwood Mac is a staple of classic rock radio it's easy to take their talents for granted. But they kicked off their new tour in style by rocking the Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh.

I agree. The band was terrific, even without Christie McVie.

People who know me know that I have an affinity for music from the late 60's and early 70's, so it came as no surprise to me that Lindsay Buckingham is a monster guitar player. Before they joined Fleetwood Mac he and Stevie had Buckingham Nicks. Great stuff.

Others who were at the show agreed that the experience was evidence that they're still a great band - not a bunch of geezers playing their hits to make the cash back that Bernie Madoff swindled them out of;-)









The only way I could figure out to get Stevie and Lindsay in the same shot was to wait for the big screen monitor to fade between the two. Otherwise they didn't go anywhere near each other:

About Me

My photo
Pittsburgh, PA, United States
I find it a privilege to be able to document in pictures the day when a couple enters into marriage. Family is the most important thing we've got and a wedding strengthens and enlarges those ties. It's a day filled with emotions and beauty and I approach it with reverence as well as a sense of humor.

My way of working is unobtrusive. After all, it’s your day and you are the center of attention. Couples are often surprised by the many candid moments in their photos given the fact that they really didn’t notice that I was taking their picture.

That's the essence of photojournalism. It's a philosophy and a way of working, not just a style of shooting pictures. I tell clients that once they become used to my presence they'll find that they and their guests will go about their day without being concerned that their photo is being taken. That's when the best "moments" reveal themselves.

As a photojournalist it’s my job to tell the story of your day. From the time you prepare, to the ceremony, and through the reception I’ll be there to capture the memories you will treasure forever. In addition, I’ll work with you to get those important portraits, and photos of the wedding party and your family.

Unlike many photographers who claim to be wedding photojournalists, I am a working photojournalist. I do it every day and have been since 1992. My work appears daily in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and has appeared in many magazines and newspapers including: Rolling Stone, USA Today, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Palm Beach Post, the New York Daily News, the ABA Journal, Highlights, Motorcyclist, Road Racer X, Sport Rider, Super Street Bike, and many others. My photographs have received recognition and awards on the state, local, and national levels.
