I am currently on the road with Noah Gundersen (and band) for six weeks taking photos of his Ledges tour. It’s been a blast hanging out so far; Noah and his family are some of my dearest friends, and they’ve always treated me like an addition to their family.

These are amazing Michael! You have such a great eye. If you end up on this side of the world I will hopefully make it to a show!
DUDE.
So wonderfully captured Michael. J & N and the missing slipper is so perfect. Miss you all!
Bravo! Great work! And so good seeing you all!
Great show in Phoenix. Ledges album is epic. Grammy?
Great pics. What a wonderful way to remember the moments forever. Great work!
Great stuff! Loved the Portland show!
I love these.
The bird shot is amazing amongst all the classy living captures –
Thanks for the gift
Amazing pictures, love this stuff. Reminds me of Neal Casals A view of other windows book. Be great to see them all in a book once the tour is over.
Beautiful pictures. Each one alone tells a chapter, all of them strung together will tell the story. Wonderful work. It was nice to meet you in Ames. Safe travels.
Cant wait too see the phoenix pictures!
I haven’t experimented much with video, but I’m excited to share this with you: a montage of Kye Kye performing “People” off of their new album, Fantasize. I shot this on Kye Kye’s winter tour with Gungor a couple weeks back. My brother David helped me with editing the footage to the studio track. The shows were in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, and California.
Sick! Looks super good.
I had a blast traveling with Kye Kye for a couple weeks of their winter tour. Here are the last set of photos from my time with them. Soon I’ll be posting a video montage from the shows! If you haven’t listened to the album yet… It’s called “Fantasize” and you can get it HERE.
