Although I just have known him for a while, he had become one of my inspiration, in photography d'uh. He made black and white blends with the smokey atmosphere of jazz become stunning. And as I see his portfolio, it has give me a bigger passion and further knowledge about music photography (which is I got deep into since.......idk).
