This was honestly one of the best nights of my life. I saw that this indie rock band was coming to my city and decided to just reach out to them. To my surprise, they actually replied and put me on the guest list!

I showed up with my camera and gave it my all. I’d love to hear your thoughts, critiques, or any advice for a beginner - just don't be indifferent!

I’d truly appreciate your support over on my Instagram: iamnonameboy

Grateful to have you on this journey, and we thank you for your continued support!
