This Cooper’s Hawk was sitting on my fence staring at my bird feeder, looking for a free lunch.

Mama’s on Washington Square, North Beach. Get there EARLY… the lines can be long, but worth it.

50 years ago this month, Canon released their iconic AE-1 camera model. My elder brother acquired this exact copy in the late seventies, when he wanted to broaden his photographic horizon behind the limitations of his 45mm fixed-lens rangefinder camera.

“Where Were You?” – Peter Murphy at the I-Beam, San Francisco CA [3-3-87] Another evening called to cover a show at the I-Beam, with pleasure, found me at my fave spot again: stage left.  It was crowded, as expected, but not too difficult to move around a bit, to sna…

Photos of mine, of Peter Murphy on a solo release tour. Never saw Bauhaus, but these images turned out pretty well.

“Where Were You?” – Talking Heads at San Francisco Civic Center [December 6, 1983] Photos from the “Speaking in Tongues” tour, 1983

That time I photographed Talking Heads, just weeks before they filmed "Stop Making Sense". One of my earliest California concerts to shoot.

“Where Were You?” – Frank Zappa at Louisville Gardens, Louisville KY [11-10-77] After a string of mid-80’s concerts in California, and then bouncing back to the local scene in Louisville, Kentucky, with my last post – I thought it time to go back to the year that I…

Cannot help but think of Zappa's "Trouble Every Day", in times like these; here are my photos taken during the first year of owning my camera:

Faded "Press On" sign, a folk art project in Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg. Hand-painted signs with a swallow in flight. Taken on a Canon AE1, with Phoenix 200 film. Cloudy day.

Start of the roll. Phoenix 200 on a Canon AE1. I love these, as long as there's only one per roll (and is usually a test shot for me).

“Where Were You?” – The Who, Live at Rupp Arena [Lexington, Kentucky – July 11, 1980] Well, it is about time to jump back to some earlier concerts, where I began to “hone” my skills….. When the major rock acts would perform in Kentucky, in the 60’s through mo…

Photos of mine, early on in my attempts to capture live concert shots. This time, The Who, in 1980, and, yes, again with watermarks:

“Where Were You?” – Sonic Youth at The I-Beam, San Francisco [July 7, 1986] This was a memorable evening for two reasons: The opening slot was supposed to have been one of the first dates for fIREHOSE, which had assembled after the tragic death of d. boon, from the Minutem…

That time I photographed Sonic Youth, in San Francisco; yes, watermarks - that is to prevent usage without my permission. The band, themselves, understood, in our communications.

“Where Were You?” – The Pretenders, at Louisville Memorial Auditorium, Louisville Kentucky [September 4, 1980] “The Preface” This appearance, I call “The Preface”, because this show would lead to a longer story, much of which takes place on the next U.S. tour, in 1981.  More on that, in another post&#823…

The first time I saw the band, in 1980, and managed to get a handful of very good photos. It would occur again, on their following tour of the U.S. Great memories:

“Where Were You?” – Muddy Waters at Bogart’s, in Cincinnati, Ohio [December 17th, 1977] Photos taken of Muddy Waters and band, in December of 1977, at Bogart’s in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the first year of owning my camera gear.

Another day, and another post regarding concert photos I took, decades ago. This time, Muddy Waters & band, during his later years. Lucky to be old enough to catch him then:
