Shooting Ron Wood in Detroit in 2015 was a bucket list gig for me (I’m still patiently waiting on Tom Waits and The Boss). The day went great, Ron was incredibly kind and easy going, and I got the shots I wanted. Perfect. (This image was one that didn’t make it into the final spread, but like what happens so often, my favorites are found in the ones that don’t.) I knew photographing a legend was going to be a good time, but what I couldn’t have predicted was how much I would be inspired by this man. Ron Wood has been doing this music thing for a long time—longer than I’ve been on this planet. Yet he showed up with an enthusiasm unmatched by most acts that have been in the business for less than a minute. The music, the work, he’s still excited by it. I’ve been shooting a long time—over twenty years now. But seeing him, like that, opened my eyes to how lucky I am to be doing this thing I love so much, and how I should maybe show up more often in a spirit of gratitude and enthusiasm like it was my first big job. Because I am lucky. And so is he. We’re doing the things we love, and there’s no reason to be less than 100% amped on that. We should all be showing up for life a little more like Ron Wood. Excited and ready to rock. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy this image. #ronwood #rollingstones @guitaraficionado -- source link
