I am pleased to report that I just returned from London where I won the Zeitgeist Award from the famous Abbey Road Studios this past Saturday for the best photograph that represents music in 2021!

A big thanks goes to Abbey Road Studios for hosting what has been a long overlooked genre of photography. I have been to many photography festivals around the world, but Abbey Road Studios is the first to my knowledge to dedicate an entire event around music photography. It was so cool to meet all the other music photographers there.

The image above is the winning photo and it features the DC metal band Darkest Hour playing their 20th anniversary show at DC Brau.

It was an amazing whirlwind of a trip and I never imagined I would ever get to party like a rock star at Abbey Road Studios!

Gratuity Included Book Release Party and Exhibit is Rescheduled /  by Chris Suspect

As we consistently see events cancelled thanks to COVID-19, I am sad to say my Book Release Party and Exhibit for Gratuity Included on Mar 27th at sPACYcLOUd is also being postponed for the safety of all. We are currently looking at May 8th for now, but it's all still tentative.

So in the spirit of keeping social distancing social, here are some photos of I Against EYE and Zealot RIP, the two bands that were and still are going to play the book release party and exhibit.

And if you haven't heard the second edition of Gratuity Included is now at the printers, so if you missed the first edition and want a copy they are available for presale.

Stay safe out there!
