Who wants Cake? A year ago this week, ishootshows.com came online with its first post, which outlined the goal of “posting images from the events I cover, articles on concert photography, and other music-related content.”
Over the last twelve months, I’ve had the privilege and opportunity to photograph some great bands, in everything from dingy clubs to sold out arenas, and I’ve bad a blast sharing the images with you here.
In the same span of time, some 200 posts later, successes include a solo gallery show and being published in Rolling Stone, SPIN, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, and the New York Times.
A big thanks to everyone out there for reading, commenting, and helping make ishootshows.com a great site for concert photography. Your support is greatly appreciated. Watch out for bigger and better things here in the near future.
Here’s to another year!

Thanks, Frota. I hope to roll out some new features soon, which will actually involve other concert photographers.

I’m constantly amazed at what you can do with a camera, and the way you support the community through helpful advice both here on the site and on Flickr shows how much you care for concert photography.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Tor! One of my main goals in starting ISS was to create a resource for other concert photographers, so I hope I’ve succeeded to some degree with that.

Wow, a year already?! Congratulations Todd – although I haven’t always had time to comment, I’ve always looked forward to my regular visits to your site and I never cease to be amazed – I’m just trying to imagine how you could possibly do better but I know you will :-)
Hey Stephen,
Thanks! Time flies, right? I wasn’t sure how I’d take to posting images and all the tech info, but I think it’s been good so far. When I started, I didn’t even read blogs, but now I’m busy trying to make 3-4 posts a week in addition to shows.
We’ll have to see where things go from here…
The content on this blog has been an immense resource in helping me redefine my standards and take my shots to the next level.
Thanks for everything you’ve shared. Looking forward to year two!
Hey Jason, thanks very much. I’m quite happy to share what I can, and pleased if this site has become a small resource as I had hoped when I first started out.
Congrats Todd! Thanks for sharing so much with us as you journey on!
