This ongoing collection has been a side
project to 8 years of traveling with
Australian blues and roots musician,
Xavier Rudd.
I have worked as an instrument technician
and production manager for tours
around the world, which has brought
me closer to the daily lives of
touring musicians. The artists in which
we often hold high upon the
glamorous "rock and roll" pedestal,
are more often, regular
people whose lives are peeled back
and open to public viewing.
It always brings me great pleasure
to sit and discuss life with those
who have inspired me in ways unimaginable,
and even greater pleasure
to be a part of their lives and capturing
the moments on film.
Often far from the glamour and glitz
of society's perceptions.
These images are a collection of those
years spent close to an incredible musician,
and dearest friend.
