When I was a freshman in high school I started "the punk rock club" at school. We didn't have anything to do, so the school told us we had to join other clubs if we didn't find something to do. I wasn't joining the chess club or whatever so I came up with the idea of starting a punk zine. A year later we started a punk record label and had some surprising success locally for such young dumb kids. One of the bands on that label was called The Infertil and I was photographing a show for their album art. Some guy in the front row was talking shit and trying to disrupt things and spit on one of the band members. The drummer Will jumped over his drum set and attacked the guy. The rest of the band jumped him and started fighting with his friends. I was standing there with a camera and I didn't want to miss the action, but I wasn't about to let my friend's fight alone. So as I'm taking this photo, I'm also kicking the dude who wound up at my feet.👇

The photo ended up as the back cover of their CD, but shortly after the record label disbanded when my business partner used all our funds to fix his broken down car. He had been my best friend since I was 11 and we didn't talk for years over it. But I kept booking shows and photographing bands and managing bands and writing record reviews and doing pretty much everything you could do in the music industry other than be in a band. I couldn't play any instruments and I couldn't sing. I'd stick to being behind the scenes.

It’s wild how the loudest years can echo the longest. Loss, chaos, friendship, fire sounds like punk, but it also sounds like life. You didn’t just witness it. You were it. 🖤
