Raining Jane and I have a lot of history. They were the first band I ever shot studio portraits of, the first band who ever used my photos on a CD cover or flier, and the first band to take me on tour w/ them. Touring with these four girls was eye opening, if not life changing. To see four people actually living their dream (they tour 9 months out of the year) is ridiculously inspiring. Photographing shows across the Pacific Northwest, meeting amazing people in each town that we visited, shooting day in the life and portrait photos, celebrating birthdays and going out to bars, crashing in random hotels and houses, but each day filled with the common thread of beautiful music... the response from fans and the crowd, often with tears in their eyes. Wow.
