Rob Szabo
Once upon some 4 or 5 odd years ago I returned from living in Victoria to discover a concert given by an independent Canadian musician named Rob Szabo in my formerly devoid of such things hometown. Reading an old notebook from the time I find sentimental sentences like: “Holy shit. That honest and intense show and Szabo’s super-smile made me want to quit whatever it is I’m doing and high-tail it to some nerve center of free-flowing passion & happiness & creativity and I suppose basically just give a shit about something”.
Once upon 2 summers ago I was gifted an old 35mm camera and shortly after receiving it took it along as my date to a house concert given by the aforementioned Szabo.
Anyways, all I’m trying to say here is that Rob Szabo is both the first musician who inspired me and the first musician I photographed.
