Well, it's definitely been a little while since I've posted any Conor photos but today is his birthday & also the one year anniversary release of "The People's Key", so to follow in my usual suit I thought I'd post a little something.

Happy Birthday to one of the most influential & inspiring people out there. Year after year Conor releases new & exciting material while always keeping true to himself & continuing to have a good time. If it weren't for him, I probably never would have dove into music photography like I had, so thank you for being so damn awesome.

Wilco (Jeff Tweedy) @ the Wiltern, Los Angeles. January 25th, 2012.

It's been quite a while since I've updated flickr but I'm going to try to start again. Shooting Wilco has been a dream of mine for a long time- the show was brilliant & I'm so so happy I got to be there.

As a side note: I usually shoot with a Nikon D700 but I've occasionally been testing out the Canon 5D Mark II... This was the first time I used the 5D Mark II where I felt adequately impressed by it. I'm still far more used to the Nikon interface & strongly believe Nikon's focusing system & ISO noise are substantially better but I was pretty happy with the results from the 5D Mark II tonight.

Amazing show, only thing I wish is that Maria's set was a little longer & that she played "Like It Does". Her new album "Overlook" is definitely in my top 5 of this year though so like I've said a hundred times in the past, please do yourself a favor & check out Maria Taylor if you haven't already!
