I recently shot portraits of Matt Rubano, the bass player from Taking Back Sunday.

I met him at his apartment in New York City and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. When you’re in a band that has headlined arena tours around the world, I suppose you’re used to having your picture taken.

After doing a few photos indoors, we went to the roof of his building which has an odd patch of grass on it. I assumed it was for dogs to do their business but Matt said that management was very strict about not allowing animals on the grass.

I though it would be fun to have an “American Gothic” type pose with his upright bass.

We shot up there for a while and didn’t have any trouble. As long as we refrained from going to the bathroom on the grass.

Here are a couple of my photos from the Bon Jovi concert on the Great Lawn in Central Park last weekend.

They had an awesome shot from a remote video camera on the stage. I’ve made that photo with other artists but never in Central Park! Nice view from up there.
