A great photographer based out of New York who goes to the best music festivals and concerts for views we all wish we could have.
I first ran across Dino’s work on JamBase.com some time back and just discovered recently that he has a blog that he updates daily. It contains some of his recent pics as well as others from prior travels.
I have not had the privilage of meeting Dino in person but he seems to have quite a love of New Orleans as I do judging by his photos. If I known he was at the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival last month, I certainly would have told him how much I admire his work and maybe ask for a few photography tips.
I wonder if he and Andrew Wyatt need an assistant ????

A top notch photographer who does work all over the country taking pics at musical events and a very colorful guy.
I first met Andrew back at the Wakarusa Festival in June while he was on assignment for JamBase.com. During a meltdown of his computer, he used my laptop to send off photos back to the editor at JamBase and save his works of art from going to electronic hell (MusicRoadMan saves the day again).
I ran into him again at the 10KLF Festival in July with his lovely girlfriend, Nancy. He was in for an encore performance due to photos that he took at the 2006 10KLF being used on programs, badges, t-shirts, etc. for the 2007 festival.
Now Andrew has a website for all musiclovers to enjoy. In addition to this years 10KLF and Wakarusa festivals, he also has Bonnaroo, Sonic Bloom, Joshua Tree and Grand Targhee from 2007 as well as some from years past.
Music festivals are not his only venue of choice, he also has some of concerts with Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews, Phil Lesh and Friends and Blues Traveler that are in the mix.
Good way to kill a few hours in my "Cubicle from Hell" this week…..
