Absolutely the best year of my career. So many amazing people that I was fortunate enough to meet and work with. I started a personal project shooting competitive runners this year called #drewphotorunproject. Other bright highlights include joining forces with Andrea Donadio at RAD Represents, an unforgettable night at The Apple Store showing and talking about my music photography over the last decade, and ending with being included in a solid group show generated by APA.
BIG thanks this year go out to Katie, Andrea, Steven, Elizabeth, Cynthia, Leslie, and Nicole....
  Bring on 2015!

Best Shows of 2014:
Eagulls / Cheathas : Beat Kitchen 06.10.14
slowdive : The Vic : 10.30.14
Hundred Waters : Schubas : 07.20.14
Perfect Pussy : Township : 04.01.14
Perfect Pussy: Schubas: 01.22.14 
Interpol: House of Blues : 07.30.12

   Wild Beasts, The Twilight Sad, and Caribou all released their masterpieces this year. Interpol put out their best record since Antics, Hundred Waters / Mac DeMarco are the real deal.
Eagulls / Cheathas at Beat Kitchen completely blew my socks off as well as the times I saw Perfect Pussy destroy Schubas in the winter then Township in the spring. But the biggest was the return of one of my all time fave bands... slowdive at The Vic. Amazing to see all those songs live again...
What an incredible year!

ROLLING STONE: A Night with FRANKIE BALLARD: Old National Centre. Indianapolis, IN. 10.25.14.





























Frankie Ballard oozes confidence and his enthusiasm to perform is intoxicating. I honestly believe it rubbed off on me that night to capture some of my favorite images to date for Rolling Stone. BIG thanks to Leslie, Andy, Daryl, and Frankie for being so awesome to work with.
