Music has always been a huge influence on my life (thanks Dad), and when I discovered how rewarding it was as a photographer to capture epic moments of a concert, I was hooked. Ive been fortunate to photograph many great concerts at a small club in Spearfish, SD as their official photographer at the time, as well as covering some big shows at The Legendary Buffalo Chip during the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Feeling the energy of the crowd is something incredible and an experience unlike anything. Watching my favorite bands and musicians perform while putting my camera into overdrive is an enlightening feeling as I cross names off my bucketlist.  -JOE
