Eric Johnson – Live Concert Photography & Music Prints - McCarter Photography Live concert photography of Eric Johnson — dynamic performance shots capturing guitar mastery, tone, and stage presence, perfect as fine art prints for fans, studios, and modern interiors.

Eric Johnson is firmly in my top 3 favorite guitarists. I had the honor of photographing one of his shows in San Diego, and I’m fired up to catch him again when he rolls through the Austin area.

Collective Soul has been one of my favorite bands since the ’90s. I still practice two full sets of their songs on guitar, and I’ve even photographed them. My dream? To play in a killer Collective Soul cover band. 🎸

Cheap Trick - McCarter Photography Cheap Trick concert pictures.

Cheap Trick has been one of my all-time favorite bands since I bought Heaven Tonight. I’ve seen them countless times, and meeting them has always been on my bucket list.

Check out the photos I shot the last time I saw them tear up the stage:

Sunday political shows are basically legacy TV for unchecked spin.

In the 24-hour news era, why are we still giving serial liars a microphone, letting them invent numbers on air, and pretending that counts as journalism?

Boycott companies that interrupt streaming movies and series episodes with ads! Streaming is supposed to be better than network TV and cable!

A story I wrote last year popped into my head today.

Maybe because I missed seeing Disturbed. Maybe because I miss big concerts, just not the ticket prices.

It came from a vivid dream that still feels like a memory.

Give it a read. Hope you enjoy it.

Streaming shows keep missing the point.

The Boys gets it: too many “stars” in music, sports, influencers, and politics are manufactured brands, not role models. Many are a mess behind the image.

My advice: stop feeding the machine. Stop making them richer.

Not that long ago, TV series gave us 22–26 episodes a season.

Now streaming serves up 6–8 episodes, then disappears for 2 - 3 years, like that’s normal. By the time it comes back, I’ve stopped caring.

What exactly is the upgrade here?

Do better, streaming.

At this rate, humanity might never leave our solar system. So, forget Star Wars, Star Trek, and all the sci-fi fantasies—this planet is all we've got. It's time to get serious about saving Earth, because there’s no escape plan coming. Let’s start now.

Watched Civil War last night. As a photographer, I appreciated the visuals.

As an American, the warning felt a little too real. This doesn’t feel like fiction anymore—it feels like a preview.

Wild how #Copilot suddenly gets squeamish about ‘flag content’ the moment you try to make a political parody. Almost like the filter’s working overtime to bubble‑wrap Trump and the Republicans from harmless satire. Totally not suspicious at all.

#Seeds supplements cost way too much.
Maybe they could lower the price by ditching the bloated packaging that serves no purpose except pretending to be premium.

Did Apple’s packaging department start a side hustle?🤪
