"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." ~ Bob Marley
The first words out of this young man's mouth were "let's keep it simple." Senior portraits for boys always are interesting sessions. Yes, they are simple but also complex. Joe was quiet, reserved and just ready to get these photographs over with and go home. As the session simply rolled along I got to understand the complexity and dynamic artist this guy is becoming. Joe is a drummer and plays in a band. When he discussed music it was all about soul and rhythm. I could just tell how much he connected and expressed himself through his music and drums by the way he spoke about other artists, music and his instrument. He was eloquent, thoughtful and introspective. I admire at such a young age, instead of playing Guitar Hero like most of many teens his age (please note I have nothing against GH), he has the dedication and passion for his music to go out and do the real thing. This is truly inspiring as a fellow artist and lover of music.
Here is a preview for Joe. Woodbury High School Class of 2010. Keep on rocking and rolling because I have a feeling I'll be hearing more about you...maybe someday over the radio.
