Your Song, His Words. Bernie Taupin
The Grand Ole Opry was busy that night, the way it always is. Backstage, the halls were full of guitars and people who knew what to do with them.
He was sitting by the piano in a white hat. Bernie Taupin. The man who wrote the words while Elton found the notes. They have done it together for more than fifty years, and they did it well.
We talked a while.
I asked if I could make a portrait. He said yes. The piano was black and it shone, and his reflection sat there in it like an old friend.
I have been a fan for a long time. It was good to meet him.
Only in Nashville.

Richard Lloyd, 1951–2026.

Guitar great, Television co-founder, and one of the architects of the sound that came out of CBGB. Those interlocking guitar lines with Tom Verlaine on Marquee Moon changed what a rock band could be — and the riffs that drove those songs were Richard’s.

It was an honor to be in front of him with a camera. He had a stillness and a mischief that came through every frame — and yes, that’s him peeking over his memoir, Everything Is Combustible.

Rest easy, Richard.

Sometimes you only get a handful of seconds to capture the essence of a subject. Case in point: Dhani Harrison at the mother church, the Ryman Auditorium.
This was ten years ago during Dylan Fest in May 2016. Dhani, the son of the legendary George Harrison, gave me just a few minutes of his time onstage in an empty room. In documentary work, that split-second window is all you get to dial in the camera, find that dramatic, cinematic light, and frame the shot. It’s these fleeting, unscripted moments with iconic storytellers and players that remind me why I’ve spent the last 3 decades doing this. When the window opens, you have to be ready to shoot.

Happy Birthday to my friend, the one and only Tommy Emmanuel! 🎸
From capturing you catching air in front of a roaring crowd to those quiet, soulful moments with a guitar in hand, it is always an absolute privilege to have my lens focused on such an iconic talent. You redefine what it means to be a true CGP every single time you play. Wishing you a year ahead filled with as much joy and energy as you bring to the stage! 📸✨

Some days you just need to wander and let the lens dictate the story. Lately, I’ve been drawn to the contrasting textures and tempos around us. It’s the sharp glass of the skyline against the weathered stone of our history. It’s the sweet, meticulous layers of a perfect dessert and the raw, unpolished grit of a smoky bar or a forgotten camper in the trees. It’s the quiet pause watching a plane cross a sunset, right before the street level comes alive with a rhythm of its own. Just a collection of moments, shapes, and characters that caught my eye. 📸

Looking ahead to Keith Urban’s new album and to seeing him light up CMA Fest this year.
His “Summer Breeze” performance on the AMAs last night felt like a love letter to those ’70s yacht rock songs and the writers who built them, as much as a preview of Flow State.
This shot goes back, but it’s why I love pointing a camera at him: full energy, zero coasting.

You never know what visual treasures you’ll find wandering through recording studios on Music Row. I loved the character of this setup at Oceanway Nashville—a classic Rhodes Mark II topped with an intricate elephant. It’s these quiet, unexpected details that give Nashville’s historic recording spaces their magic. 🐘🎹📸
