Photographs of the one and only #alecnewnam | Bassist, band leader, eclectic and open minded explorer of life's adventures, and also - my guy. In our near 8 years together, I think this is our only sleek studio shoot. Shot on @ilfordphoto.com #panF

Tom Petty left this earthly realm eight years ago this week.

Nine years ago I had the oppertunity to photograph Tom with his old band Mudcrutch. A year later, Tom tragically passed away. Forever loved and missed, though his legacy will live forever.

2025 has cleanly found me in my era of photographing musicians floating through the boundlessness of knock out white infinity walls.
