The Ted Atkatz Percussion Seminar (TAPS) launched in the summer of 2015 as a week-long education experience for college-level student musicians. I have been fortunate to cover TAPS during its first two summer sessions as a photographer and videographer. In addition, I regularly update social media sites with photos, polished video segments, and graphics.
TAPS is a real labor of love for Ted and he has been generous in allowing me to creatively experiment and explore all possibilites.
