    Darin Back Photography-Band Photography's Blurbs
About me:
I began my photography in 1991. I went to a little photography trade school, finished that and what I didn't learn there I got from books in the library. I spent 2 years here in Mpls assisting for Daytons' and many local photographers until I made the decision to move to L.A. and see if I knew what I was doing. After a month I landed my first assisting gig with a local photographers shooting Joan Van Ark from Knots Landing. I found out very fast working in Hollyweird is a whole insane experience. I eventually landed an assisting gig with Dewey Nicks for a Loreal commercial and was asked by Lori Goldstein(stylist for Rolling Stone Magazine) to work with Annie Leibovitz(Vanity Fair Senior Photographer, Magnum Photographer) to work as a 3rd assistant and after three months i was asked by Annie to move to first assistant and move to New York.. I did and spent the next year working my ass off..I was dually impressed by Annie's ability to pull a rabbit outt of a hat when it came to getting the job done.. That was 1994 and one year later I moved back to Mpls, Mn to work here for a year and eventually I moved to Boulder, CO in 1995. I spent that year living in a log cabin with a friend up in the canyon snowboarding every day and working in Boulder for various magazines. I then moved to Vail, Co to immerse myself in total isolation in the passes of Colorado. I spent the next 4 years shooting photos of pros for Transworld Snowboarder and Heckler magazines. In between the seasons I traveled to San Diego and learned how to make snowboards. I also spent a summer in San Francisco shooting a story of 8 skaters who made art. I spent another summer in Mt. Hood in Oregon shooting snowboard camps. After Vail, CO I decided it was time to move back to the beach(I grew up in Florida) so I moved to Virginia Beach, Va. I spent a year there working for Ninevolt Magazine as a Senior Photographer photographing bands each day for one year. I then moved a little west to Norfolk, Va to continue working for Ninevolt but also working for Hampton Roads Monthly Mag. I eventually felt it was time to move back north and moved to Mpls, MN where I have lived for 4 years and counting. I have spent my time working locally booking, promoting and shooting photos for bands. Recently, I have shot with Paul Westerberg,and Bob Mould. I have shot over 10,000 images since 1991 and counting. My photography has been published in these music zines:Rolling Stone, Spin, Magnet Magazine, No Depression, Harp, Paste, Amplifier, Ninevolt, Warp, Stick, Raygun and for years I was published in Transworld Snowboarder, Thrasher, Slap skateboard magazines.
Who I'd like to meet:
Tom Waits, LLoyd Cole, Peter Case, Garrison Keillor, Bono,

1. the light is not natural
2. it's not "intenne" it's "antennae", get it straight, spelling bee champion
3. this photograph simply reflects my pleasantly two-faced, half-cocked nature.
