Kings Kaleidoscope | Baptized Imagination | Tour Photography

One of the most special experiences of my life. Living on the bus with 12 guys for two and a half weeks was full of late night deep convos, making them let me help build the stage sometimes, using days off to go to the Shakespeare festival, so much grace for each other, finding places to poop that were NOT the bus, desert photoshoots, and just plain old joy. To Chad, Daniel, John, JJ, Zach, Bezzy, John, Drew, Jeff, Sam, Ethan, Zac, and Lief, thank you for including me and letting me join the family. I’m grateful forever.

Main takeaways:

  • Tour Managers are the real MVP’s

  • I sleep great in a bus bunk

  • Delirium sets in early on days off and sometimes leads to candy being thrown around the bus

  • Disneyland lines are great places to help the trombonist figure out his enneagram number

  • Meeting everyone’s families is the best

  • Shooting the same show night after night is an honor and a challenge, but opens up all sorts of new avenues for creativity

  • Meow Wolf is epic

  • Can’t wait to shoot tours again

Check out their new album out now: Baptized Imagination and watch this clip of Chad talking about his process at our show at the Troubador

And if you need MORE goodness, here’s the tour video of the encore : The Rush filmed by my friends Zac Schwiet and Lief Thomason that makes me sob.
