Live Concert Photography: George Clinton at SummerStage, Queensbridge Park

July 15, 2015

Since JOVM is a (mostly) one-man operation, I wind up wearing multiple hats and juggling several balls simultaneously and admittedly on occasion things fall through the cracks. And as much as I would personally wish that there was a 40 hour day, I know that there are only 24 hours and I have to use them up as best as humanly possible.

As you can imagine, I go to and shoot a lot of shows — including the legendary George Clinton and members of Parliament Funkadelic performing at SummerStage in Queensbridge Park over the summer. Check out some photos of the legendary pioneer of all things funk below.
