here are some shots from 2009’s  coachella’s backstage photo shoot madness.  we had about 15 minutes with each band, so it was sort of like a 3 day music video shoot- hot, hurry,hurry, hot. so much fun ! got to catch epic sets by the bass player from the beatles (some guy named paul?), jenny lewis, the black keys, m.i.a, and tons of other great artists. there was much more work than play, but after all, that’s what i was hired to do!
