It’s so exciting that so many workers are asking about how to form a union where you work! Jean helped me make a thread of basic advice that applies to most workers in the USA
I took A LOT of photos yesterday that I'm excited about at

OK I just came back from the
#BostonProtest
in Franklin Park. It was easily one of the most peaceful protests I have ever been a part of period. The speakers were great there was music there were smiling faces despite the level of anger that is happening today.
In all of these protests in the country you continue to see peacefulness right up until the point where police come in because they are tired of seeing nothing happen. If they let it all just end & disperse it wouldn't get ugly in EVERY CITY. F*** the police

Hi Boston bands, I rented A LOT of gear for Bonnaroo which was canceled. Anyone need portraits or have a live show they need a photographer for this weekend? I can't do it for free, but my fee can be VERY band friendly. If friends could boost this/tag bands I'd appreciate it ♥️

Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese reunite for “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese,” a doc chronicling Dylan's mid-70s tour that will be released by Netflix later this year. It's confirmed that Bob sat for an on-camera interview!
phish playing outside of north america, i just don't see it. phish releasing new vinyl/cd box set of the full 2000 japan tour, i could definitely see that
Officially in New Orleans for my 1st Jazz Fest. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. The world really sucks right now, but celebrating wins are really important. Photographing the next 4 days is a giant bucket list check mark for me.
I have typed and retyped this in so many ways. I just don't have the words. Hold you loved ones close. Fuck Cancer man. I'll have more to say at some point but I just lost my dad after a short battle. The mind was willing to fight but the body just didn't have it this time.
Bands playing festivals, y'all know folks in the crowd have phones and cameras and are taking photo and videos of your whole set right? Its silly that your management, or you, are shutting down pro photographers at this point.

Sarah is a queen and she is going to be such a bigger fucking rock star product model photographer badass so much sooner than later. Please hire this woman for everything!!!!
Crying because it's over, but happy I was able to witness the majesty of

I'm sorry but the obstructed seats in the 100s need to be the cheapest in the house. It's so dumb that any seats in this building are obstructed and all 3 bands that have played so far are charging too much for them
Hey music photogs, we're not signing restrictive contracts anymore since the front row is going to have these and are going to be photographing artists all night now right? 48MP is RIDICULOUS.
What I loved about Phish's Earth Day set so much was there were so many quick parts no repeated for the rest of the set. Free being spelled out. The whale/dolphins, bubbles and lazers, the seaweed. Each thing happened once. So much effort. Best Band Ever.
The two military bases that the Trump admin will house migrant children in have been littered in toxic chemicals, including:
- nuclear waste
- carcinogens (e.g. chromium, TTHMs)
- Agent Orange (allegedly)

Yeah if you're on here doing bad takes about how bad it is that student debt might get wiped because you paid yours off and other should have to suffer, you're f*cked in the head. Congrats on paying it off, but this is so good for so many people if it happens.
This human right here is my favorite & it's their bday today. This year has really sucked. We were supposed to be in Iceland this year for our bdays. Being a pharmacist in a hospital has been hard this year to say the least. Please help me wish
@dr_sparklefairy
a glorious Bday.
“If we hadn’t put these kinds of restrictions in place and we didn’t hold the line on it, I would feel like I was taking advantage of people while I’m doing my job,” Jason Isbell says.
Thats it for ROO 2019. Shout out to Doug Mason for bringing me on to his team &
@jambase
for having me do coverage for them. The photogs I worked alongside was a who's who of people's work I admire, respect, and strive to reach. It was a weekend for the books.

I'm going to keep doing my outdoor runs during this quarantine since A) I don't interact with anyone on them, B) I get to be outside for a bit, C) I'll get the wiggles out so I can be in the house without going crazy, and D) because it lets me clear my head 100%
Limited resources while on vacation (no hard drives), so here's a photo of the two of us from 4 years ago as we celebrate 10 years together today and I quote
@dr_sparklefairy
from today "to another 10 years...at least"
So... last year, progressives in New York warned loudly that Cuomo's appointee would take the state's highest court to the right. And she did.
Now a Dem senator who supported her says: “No one could foresee just how important state government would be.”
16 years ago I saw these four guys from Vermont for the first time ever and life changed. Mom took me, it was also her first show, and we watched from the lawn. They covered Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, and played a four song second set. I was blown away.

, my best friend, and I decided to punk the government into making sure we both have healthcare and get some help during tax season. I'd say it's going pretty well so far. Excited where things will continue to go from here.
A year ago the wonderful
@lindseybilin
handed me a floor ticket, i found
@Feliciafied
and the ENTIRE crew Mike side about 15 feet from the stage, ate a donut, & we're still inside a Lawn Boy jam. It was going to be the only one I hit & if it had been I would have been ok
so a band i truly love put out a bootleg on bandcamp & credited a photo of mine from that set as the album art, but never asked for it & are going to be making some $ off of it. would have been nice to be asked for said photo & be compensated. do i contact them and ask for $$$
2 friends passed this week under very different circumstances and I'm gutted. Both an integral part of the underground music scene in the Capital Region. Tell your people you love them.
I have photographed idols of mine and had opportunities I never could have dreamed of, but really this moment takes the cake by leaps and bounds. The two best concert moments of this year happened yesterday and today. I dont care that its only July.
