Back in July, I was able to photograph the 8123 Tour with The Maine, A Rocket To The Moon, This Century, and Brighten at the Beacham in downtown Orlando, FL. This was an exciting and kind of an emotional show for me because it was the last time I would be seeing my buddies in A Rocket To The Moon perform together as a band.

For those of you who don’t know, ARTTM was one of the first bands I ever photographed promotional photos for and posters were made for the band with the image that I took for them. This really was a huge kickstart to my career, and it was amazing to have an image that I created, hanging up in the homes of actual people!

A bit before the show I took a few minutes out to do some promotional photos for Nick Santino of A Rocket To The Moon’s new project, Nick Santino and the Northern Wind. Be sure to check out his new stuff over at https://www.facebook.com/OfficialNickSantino

After the portrait session with Nick ended, we had a few moments to relax and enjoy some tasty beverages and then the show began! All of the bands on the bill played amazing sets, and it was one of my favorite concerts recently to photograph, especially because of my history with the guys in ARTTM. As always, I will not bore you with details and leave you to experience the show via images through my lens!
