2022
The year I discovered that live music was my calling in life.
2022
Somehow I was blessed with the greatest year of my life in 2022. On top of personal achievements, I attended 71 concerts that year! 71. I almost averaged a concert a week, but I had to cancel a few shows when I finally got COVID-19 (and I suspect it was from when I went to see Megadeth in Green Bay, WI). 2022 blessed me with seeing some of my all-time favorite bands, including Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, and Café Tacvba. It also became the year I started shooting with my Canon 60D and began to take myself more seriously as a photographer. Truly, 2022 was a year to remember.
