Mike can’t sing and can’t play an instrument, so he takes photos of those who can. Mike’s first concert was Kiss in the late '70s, and he has attended over 300 concerts in the years since.


Based in the Washington DC metro area, Mike often travels throughout the mid-Atlantic states to shoot shows, anywhere from a tiny club to arenas.
