The first day of Miami Music Week 2023 for Epic Pool Parties! It was a truly wonderful day to kickoff our yearly celebration of house and techno music. As usual, our first party was hosted by the electronic music industry publishing giant, DJ Mag. It was a beautiful and cool Miami day, and the energy was electric! You couldn’t ask for a nicer day at the Sagamore South Beach. In years past, I have always spent more of my time focused on DJ performances. This year I really tried to be more immersed in the crowd, interacting with guests, and reacting to the vibes of the party. PLUS, those images tend to be more useful for marketing future events, so… lets see how I did!

How the Heck Did I Get Here? | James Monroe Iglehart | Rehearsal | 54 Below | May 18, 2015
The incredible, Tony Award winning James Monroe Iglehart, rehearsing for his first concert at 54 Below in NYC, back in 2015.
The name of the show was How the Heck Did I Get Here, but I could also ask that question of myself. James Monroe Iglehart. Tony Award winning, JM Iglehart. I wasn’t prepared. This was an opportunity that I shouldn’t have said yes to, in hindsight. When all was said and done, I really only felt like three or four images were up to snuff, I was super embarrassed, and I think I just delivered those.
A shame. James and his wife and the whole ensemble were such wonderful and fun people and I just feel like I let them down. So, 8 years later, I dig in, and use the editing skills developed since them to put out this passable (I hope) set.
James! If you happen to see this post, I owe you a shoot, someday, somehow. You can call it in whenever.
