Shoreline photographer publishes book of rock concert photos from the past 50 years

Saturday, August 12, 2023

The First Three Songs by local photographer Steve Schneider
can be purchased here

Shoreline resident and Shoreline Area News contributor Steve Schneider has just published a book of concert photos from the most famous rock groups in America.

In a feature article in The Seattle Times, reporter Clay Eels says, 

Steve Schneider, whose musically panoramic imagery fills “The First Three Songs: Rock and Roll at 125th of a Second,” a 220-page coffee-table compendium whose title alludes to the brief time at the opening of shows when promoters typically let photojournalists work up close. The tome bolsters Schneider’s uncomplicated mantra: “It’s always been about excitement, about fun. I just want to get the shot.”
He's seen them all, particularly the Grateful Dead.

His “Who’s Who” concert subjects range from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to Pearl Jam, Dylan to Cobain, Bonnie Raitt to Carlos Santana, Willie Nelson to Paul Simon, to McCartney, Clapton, Jagger, Springsteen, Bowie and — yes — the Who.

This stunning view was taken by Shoreline resident Jay Lindberg from the 47th floor of a building at Stewart and Denny Way in Seattle.

The photo was taken around 5:45pm. One good thing about shifting to standard time and darkness is that you can take night shots without it actually being, well, night!

Night Sky: Contrails and International Space Station and a star

Wednesday, September 21, 2022

Contrail against a sunset

Story and photos by Barbara Twaddell

I went out Tuesday night knowing the International Space Station would be coming by around 8:04pm.

In the first photo around 7:30pm I saw this comet-like streak, which was not the space station, but just a jet contrail being lit up by the setting sun.

The brightest star in the sky is the International Space Station

In the second photo right at 8:04pm the ISS showed up. It is the bright “star” in the upper middle. It moved quite rapidly from West to East. 

A real star in the lower right is Arcturus.

Tim Davis photography on display August 6-7 in Edmonds

Friday, July 8, 2022

Dancing Lights
Photography by Tim Davis 

By Diane Hettrick

Tim Davis, whose photos often appear in local media, including the Shoreline Area News, has a unique view of Shoreline. He lives in Kingston.
 
He lives on President's Point directly across the Sound from Shoreline and Woodway. We're the backdrop for his photos of passing ships.

Tim is relatively new to the Pacific Northwest. After retiring from a corporate sales job in California, he moved to Washington in 2018. He bought his first camera when he was a teenager but with retirement and the beauty and interest of his part of the Salish Sea, he now takes photographs daily.

Photography by Tim Davis

In 2019 he was awarded first prize for photography at the Edmonds Arts Festival.

Tim's work will be displayed on Saturday and Sunday, August 6-7, 2022 at The Salish Sea Brewing Boathouse Taproom in Edmonds, 180 W Dayton St #102

Although his work is for sale at timdavisimages.com, he isn’t fond of doing transactions that way. Emailing him at timdavisimages@gmail.com is the best approach.

“I just do it to have it there,” he said about listing his work on the website. “I’d rather interact directly with people about what photos they’re interested in and then talk about what media it’s available to be printed on.”

‘The First Three Songs’ - local photographer's coffee table book of rock stars he has photographed

Sunday, November 21, 2021

The First Three Songs - photography by Steve Schneider

Sunday, November 21, 2021 at The Local 104 Winter Market from noon to 4pm. 18498 Ballinger Way NE in Lake Forest Park.


The Grateful Dead, Nirvana, David Bowie, Soundgarden, the Rolling Stones and many more - Shoreline resident Steve Schneider has photographed them all.

And now he has published his photos in a gorgeous book of photography, "The First Three Songs," a  hardbound book with 220 pages of concert images printed on archival acid-free matte paper.

350 photos showcase five decades of live music -- the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, the Rolling Stones, and many others. 

Soundgarden at The Paramount from The First Three Songs by Steve Schneider

At ten of the concerts featured — including shows by David Bowie, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson — Schneider was the only photographer with access.

The title comes from some acts’ directive that photographers only shoot the first three songs, but many of the best images in The First Three Songs are from when Schneider pushed around that. 

A shot of the Grateful Dead at the closing of the legendary San Francisco club Winterland in 1978 was taken at 5:30am in the morning. 

“This was back in the days of film, and I had saved just a few frames for when they would end,” Schneider recalled. “They started on at midnight, but I saved enough to capture their good-bye early in the morning.” 

The Grateful Dead liked the image enough that it was used on a CD and DVD of the event, and it ended the film of the event. The band signed a copy of a 1977 New Years’ photo from the same location in Winterland. They also gave Bill Walton a 20”x 30” signed copy of the same photo.

U2 at Key Arena from The First Three Songs by Steve Schneider

Many of Schneider’s photos were shot for UPI, but he has also worked for Sipa Press, Reuters, and Gannett. His images have appeared in hundreds of newspapers and magazines, and Time used one of Schneider’s photos of Jerry Garcia in their 1995 coverage of the singer’s death. Schneider’s work has also been featured in numerous exhibits. He is represented by the Jeffrey Moose Gallery in Bainbridge Island, Washington.

“The book includes over five decades of photographs,” Schneider says. “In the case of Neil Young, as one example, you can actually see five decades of Neil in photographs.” 

Young was one of the last performers Schneider photographed pre-pandemic in 2019. Schneider says the book also serves as a document of how concert photography is transformed with the development of digital photography, and how when bands began to light their stage for video.

Copies of "The First Three Songs" are available for $60 at www.schneiderphotographystore.com. He will be selling them in person on Sunday, November 21, 2021 at The Local 104 Winter Market from noon to 4pm. 18498 Ballinger Way NE in Lake Forest Park.
