Passion, Practice, Determination, and Dedication

That's what it takes. Those are words I hope to be remembered by.

Success in any endeavor does not happen by accident. Rather it is the result of deliberate decisions, conscious effort, and immense persistence.

In light of that, I give you more 100 Monkeys pictures. A band who lives with passion, practice, determination and dedication.

When words aren't enough

I believe it is only fitting to begin this blog by featuring the band that made me fall in love with photography all over again. Taking pictures of 100 Monkeys when they perform live has to be one of the most exhilarating experiences on earth. Not only are you submerged in their music and surrounded by their adoring fans, the atmosphere around you radiates energy, love, passion, and dedication. Mere words will never be enough to convey how intensely indebted I am to them.

If you do not know who 100 Monkeys are, I invite you to step into a world where music is life : 100 Monkeys

And enjoy this small sampling of my photographs of them playing live at the Book & Stage in Las Vegas on April 30, 2011.
