A fly-on-the-wall backstage pass

There have been countless books telling of backstage antics and debauchery, often mimicking a press release or depicting an image of what's expected. Before I Hit The Stage... is a photographer's fly-on-the-wall peek at the more accurate reality of a band playing the NYC circuit. The candid moments and pre-show rituals of a wide gamut of artists over the course of a year. As a New Yorker, I might favor the venues featured - and as a photographer, am likely influenced by letting the images tell the story. I love the concept for the collection and the images shared. My only critique is that content would've been done more justice with some heavier stock glossy pages.
