“That good?” I ask, still leaning against the brick wall backstage of Madison Square Garden where you’re a couple feet in front of me taking a photo. Love on Tour started a few short months ago, and I hired you to travel with me as my photographer. We originally met earlier this year when my team hired you to help shoot one of music videos and I liked your photography style, so I asked you to join me on tour.

I’m aware it’s a demanding job with all the travel and side work with editing photos after shows, but I’ve made sure to help out as much as I can by covering your travel expenses like I do with the rest of my crew. Naturally, since we spend such large amounts of time together during the tour, we’ve even grown to be friends.
