It’s hard to believe that Rihanna has been performing for nearly a decade now. Going through her catalogue in preparation for seeing her live, I’d kind of forgotten just how many hit songs Rihanna had, and just how many I knew all the words to. From her first hit “Pon de Replay” in 2005, to “Umbrella” in 2008, to “S&M” in 2010 to 2012’s “Diamonds,”

Anyone out there excited for the Game of Thrones season 3 premiere later this month? HBO has been doing select season 3 premiere stops in cities such as San Francisco, and most recently Seattle, bringing with them a few members of the Game of Thrones cast. On Thursday, March 21, HBO brought their crew to Seattle’s Cinerama theater, where fans and media gathered for the red carpet
As I took on my second SXSW week of music mania in Austin, Texas, this past week, I couldn’t help but think that the behemoth of a festival seemed bigger than ever. Lines were longer, shows were more packed, and getting into shows was nearly impossible, even for those with so-called “press/photo passes.” Anyway, my 6 days of running around SXSW left me feeling one

This year, I had the pleasure of attending Emerald City ComiCon for the 2nd time ever. Celebrity panels this year were pretty awesome, including Adam West and Burt Ward (Batman and Robin!), Gillian Anderson, Billy Dee Williams, Christopher Lloyd, Walter Koenig, and Sir Patrick Stewart, to name a few. Below is a gallery of images photographed for Getty Images. Check out the full image galleries
If Tuesday night could ever make you want to yell, “TGIF, ” that night was last night. Rocking the Paramount Theater in Seattle were a trifecta of three stellar pop bands: Icona Pop, Matt and Kim, and Passion Pit. The night kicked off with Swedish pop duo Icona Pop, perhaps best known right now for their smash single “I Love It,” which is making waves
I first saw and photographed Ellie Goulding live at SXSW 2011, back when she was a breakout singer-songwriter fresh off the release of Lights. On Monday night, I photographed her again at a sold out show at the Showbox SoDo here in Seattle. This time, she was hardly unknown. The audience was screaming for Goulding long before she took the stage, and many times they
2012 was an amazing year full of travel and great events. Best of all was when these two things could combine, and luckily several of those moments were recognized in my various editorial contributions' "Best of 2012" photo roundups. First off, thanks to Paste Magazine for allowing me to photograph 2012's Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park this past summer. It
November 6, 2012 was an epic night in America's history at President Barack Obama won re-election over Mitt Romney, and Washington state legalized two huge things: Referendum 74 which now allows for same-sex marriage, and Initiative 502 which legalizes the sale and consumption of limited amounts of cannabis/marijuana. As predicted, Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood was ablaze with local citizens who as a whole claimed a
