I love taking pictures of empty stages. Maybe something’s about to happen; maybe something just happened. This shot is before a gig at the now-closed Townshend in Austin. Any time I post a photo of an empty stage, the identity of the band won’t matter. The point is that there is a place set aside to share a spontaneous creativity for an hour or two and then it will all vanish, and no two are ever the same.
