What can I say about these boys? brilliant, fun, adorable, talented…
Kathy and I had the great pleasure of being asked to photograph them when they were in town playing with Tyrone Wells.
Jason Reeves & Billy Hawn… (first things first, click those links!!) I adore their music. Adore. And, well, after getting to know them I can say that I adore them just as much. They are their music. What it means, how it feels, what it represents… and they are just crazy enough to be a ton of fun as well ;)
Thanks guys for inviting us into your world. Hella fun being a rock star for the night ;)

Krystal McGee: Wow Shannon, these are just so different to your kids shots, they are edgy and artistic and seriously cool. I bet these guys will be really chuffed with these. I plead ignorance with this band, I write from Australia:) but they look cool. (05.26.2008 05:11pm)
