Josh Johnson @ Minglewood Hall - Memphis, TN - July 25th, 2025

Was stoked to be able to see one of my favorite Daily Show people perform in my hometown. I barely had to leave the house to go see him! This was a great week for Josh since was the first time he got to HOST TDS so I'm sure it was a huge week for him. With all that and still be able to do 2 SOLD OUT shows here in Memphis is a true testament to his skill.

On a photo note I didn't have any kind of credential so it was just me and my trusty X100. 35mm with no way to change lenses or get in the pit it was challenging to get some stuff I thought was interesting. But as I always say limitations are the ultimate creative outlet so it was fun trying to get some stuff I thought was good but feel good about these.

Looking forward to seeing more of Josh on TDS and especially his killer YouTube videos. It's worth subscribing to his channel especially if you are looking for catharsis in current events. Enjoy!

Bennett @ Gonerfest 21

I present to you Bennett! I’ve seen Bennett around town (very tall and hard to miss), but I have never seen them perform live. Thankfully, they were one of the many talented bands at the Gonerfest 21 lineup, so I made sure to get front and center with the wide-angle lens (again, very tall) and take in the performance. When I saw the GE AM/FM radio strapped on their shoulder, I knew we were all in for a good time. So grateful to @gonerfest for allowing me to photograph this amazing weekend. It’s hands down my favorite music event of the year.
