So today I was hired to film promo shots for a company that makes these LED wrist bands during Tiesto’s set in Aspen for the X-games. The band reads ‘Tiesto Club Life’, and they handed them out at the entrance to the concert to thousands of people. What’s cool is the bands are controlled by the lighting designer at the sound booth, and for most of the set they were turned off. After half the set,   they turned off the crowd lights and turned these on, so all you could see was an ocean of led lights dancing in the dark, changing colors and flashing on and off at times. It was pretty cool to see. It was my job to get video of the crowd sporting these wristbands and going crazy to the music. I pretty much could do whatever I wanted when I was there. I got to shoot from the stage, shoot in the photo pit long after they kicked out the photographers, and go to the vip tent and backstage area. It was pretty rad, and a lot of my friends were working security at the show.  I had no idea who Tiesto was before this, but he walked right by me on the way to the stage. My roommate, who happened to be working the gate asked him who he was and he said he was the DJ. we looked at each other, confused. I finally realized it was him when a fan about five feet in front of me asked to shake his hand and started freaking out. Apparently he is a big deal. I was shocked by this, because he mostly just spun remixes of other people’s songs. I guess people are into that thing. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after I over heard what he was getting paid to play in aspen. Overall, it was a pretty good time, and I got a lot of really good footage. Hopefully I will get to see the final promo when it is done and I can share it with you guys. Maybe ill post a clip of what I shot tonight.

Silver & Cold

Photographer. Designer. Music Junkie. 

One of the only times I feel truly happy is when I am at a live music event. It is the one place I can put all of Life's BS aside and hide from the world for a brief moment in time. Music is my life. 

People are always telling me how lucky I am that I get to do what I do. I don't feel lucky. I am just doing what makes me happy. I have worked very hard to get to where I am today, and I have a long way to go. But hard work is key to doing the things that you want to do in life. And hard work makes it all the more enjoyable. This has been an amazing and crazy journey for me so far, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Follow me as I take over the world, one click at a time.

X-Games is whatever but Lil Wayne is pretty cool. Even cooler is your best friend that invites you to get into a sold out, super expensive show for free. Then you take a selfie under the psycho abominable snowman from the Free Skier game that runs out from the trees to eat your dumbass. Lucky for us we didn't get eaten this time around 😝 Love you homie!!!! .

Not every day you get to hang out with a legend/GOD. Wish I could've made it here years ago to have a jack n coke with him in person like I always wanted to. The highlight of our crazy night 🤟🖤 Unfortunately for us, the Rainbow now charges a $10 cover just to get in the door, followed by a one drink minimum. I told the door man I came a long way just to get a picture with Lemmy and he told me that's what the cover is for. Are you kidding me?! So the Rainbow is now a tourist attraction. Exploiting a legend who frequented this place just to make a buck using his legacy. Fucking weak. For this very reason we refused to pay the cover. (And even after we snuck in the back refused to pay for a drink) 
And unfortunately for the Rainbow, the back bouncer was away from his post, allowing us to walk right in and take all the photos we wanted with the king. Jokes on you! Lemmy would be livid if he knew this was happening at his favorite bar. 
At least I can say I met Lemmy. I have no need to ever come to this greedy place ever again. Fuck the Rainbow 🖕🌈 .

Nothing like losing a loved one to bring people together. A harsh reminder of how precious life really is. It never ever gets easier, but you get used to it. Rest easy Ethan Turner, and happy fucking birthday brother!! 🤟😝⚔️🔥

Physically I'm in Colorado but mentally I'm still hanging out on Santa Monica beach with my toes in the water. Fuck everything and everyone else. For real 🖕🖕🖕
