Photos from Lionel Richie and CeeLo Green‘s performance at Seattle’s Key Arena on May 30. Both singers were in town for Richie’s latest tour, All the Hits: All Night Long. Until last year, Richie had not toured the United States in decades. Fans of all ages, mostly of baby boomer age, came out in swarms to sing and dance the night away with an energetic Richie and his band. Check out photos below, with more available here.

Posted on

Franz Ferdinand is one of those bands that has been pretty influential in my formative years. Their first self-titled album came out in 2004, the year I first moved to Washington state to attend college, and I remember my freshman year roommate blasting their album over and over again. As an islander addicted to jawaiian (Hawaiian reggae) and R&B music, Franz Ferdinand’s indie rock tunes were foreign to my ears, but I took a quick liking to the British indie rockers and have followed their music ever since. The first time I saw British indie rockers Franz Ferdinand perform was at Bumbershoot when I attended as a fan. There was an incredibly huge mosh pit that started in the crowd and I had the displeasure of being smack dab in the middle of it. I remember leaving covered in bruises and sweat and a huge grin on my face, loving the experience as whole. I saw Franz Ferdinand again a few years later as a photographer at Outside Lands where they played the main stage and again last night when they headlined a sold out live at the Showbox SoDo. No mosh pit this time around, but some fabulous photo opportunities despite less than ideal lighting. Scroll down to see some of my favorite shots from the night, with more available here.

Snoop Dogg Seattle photography marijuana

Photos from the first of Snoop’s Wellness Retreat shows at Seattle’s WaMu Theater on April 19th (and early April 20th just in time for 4/20) featuring Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, and Nacho Picasso. Given Washington state’s recent legalization of marijuana plus the 420-friendly lineup just in time for April 20th, it was no wonder that this hip-hop show was packed with fans and MJ enthusiasts with thick plumes of smoke filling the venue long before Snoop took the stage. This was the first of two exclusive “Wellness Retreat” shows being held during the 4/20 weekend, with the second and final blowout happening on April 20th in Denver, Colorado. Check out the full photo set available here.
