SO many moments in my life that I will always be grateful for.ย So many crazy moments that I did not have a camera to record.ย My moments with Soundgarden are truly special.ย I loved the band and every moment I got to hang or shoot.ย Chris, Matt, Ben and Kim always treated me with respect and yes, we did laugh a lot.ย Hereโs 10 big onesโฆ
- Spin Magazine Shoot | 08.24.89 – My first shoot was a great shoot.ย Jason Everman was the bass player at the time.ย We shot at a studio in LA.ย I just remember who shy they were.ย They had their first album for A&M Records coming outโฆ Louder Than Love.
- The Whiskey Show | 12.7&10.89 – My first time seeing them live was at The Whiskey in 1989.ย The two shows they filmed for Louder Than Live video.ย No bullshitโฆ they blew me away!!!ย Chris was a god!
- Creem Magazine Shoot | 08.29.91 – My second shoot was for Creem Magazine as we did it in Seattle.ย I shot Pearl Jam before on the same day.ย A good day for sure.
- Rckandy Show | 08.30.91 – They did this show before Badmotorfinger came out.ย I went with Eddie Vedder and Beth Libeling.ย My first time bouncing around a mosh pit.ย Didn’t bring a cameraโฆ kill me NOW!
- JCP Video Shoot | 09.08.91 – Shot out in the desert!ย I had not slept for days and drove out there alone to meet the band & production.ย A great day, but I was exhausted.ย I couldnโt drive home at the end of the day so Chris & his wife Susan drove me back to LA while I slept in the back. ย

- Venture Theatre | 01.29.92 – The only time I shot the band live and my favorite theatre.ย A great show in every way and I got the photos to prove it.
- Lolapalooza | 09.11.92 – I went to the show just to hang out with friends and see them play.ย I ended up on the side of the stage and shot a roll or two while Soundgarden performed. ย
- RIP Magazine Shoot | 12.06.93 – By this time Chris had cut his hair short.ย Did not like it!ย I hadnโt seen them in a while and it was great to catch up.ย We did the shoot at A&M Records sound stage in LA.ย Block from where I lived.ย
