I’m pleased to announce that I was recently named one of the winners of the 2008 Billboard Magazine and PDN (Photo District News) Summer Music Moment – Ultimate Music Photography Contest. The judges selected the David Banner photo featured above as one of the winning image selected out of over 2,000 submissions.
The captured moment took place at the 2008 SXSW Music Festival in Austin and is currently featured in the December issue of PDN magazine and will also be in a gallery on the Billboard and PDN sites later this month.
Being named one of the Billboard and PDN photo contest winners is a blessing. My team and I work very hard for all of the content we produce, so having our work showcased and recognized is something I am grateful for.
Ice Cube came through Austin this past weekend for a show at The Mohawk. The packed event was courtesy of Transmission Entertainment. Austin’s own Gerald G was one of the openers. The venue was full of Cube fans. Dub C was on hand as well and joined Cube during his set. Another great Austin show…
I had the opportunity earlier this week to document the David Banner concert at the Austin Music Hall. If you haven’t witnessed a David Banner show, and consider yourself a hip-hop/music fan , you really need to. The concert was put together by Austin’s own Rozone Productions. Other acts on the lineup included Bun B, Z-Ro, Austin’s own the C.O.D. and a couple other local artists.
