The 1960’s masterpiece, ” Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay”, came to mind while Julia, Sam and I created a series of family images on the edge of Excelsior. The setting was ideal because of the landscaping, which included an old-timey tricycle and an arbor.

….and finally, an imposing boulder at the edge of one of Minnesota’s gazillion lakes provided a really swell setting where we could put a wrap on our shoot.  I think Sam and Julia had as much of a laugh as I did, especially after the two on a trike shot.

With 40 years of musical experience, Twin Cities band, “Generation Rock” digs deep into musical archives with powerful and memorable staples of the 70’s and 80’s. Drummer Myron Moser, began forming what is now Gen Rock in 2014 and has trolled for artists who are committed to passionate and accurate interpretations of 70’s and 80’s rock. At a Generation Rock concert, extraordinary moments happen on otherwise ordinary evenings.

Such was the case at a recording studio in the Twin Cities recently when the band performed before a phalanx of recording cameras including mine. One image, made at the lip of the elevated stage, captures the energy and passion of lead guitarist Blitz and I think that speaks eloquently of the bands’ shared joy while performing.
