Episode Synopsis

Super excited to announce new guest, Vince DiStefano, to The Story!Vince's love of music and concerts started early. His bedroom was right above the jukebox in their family tavern, so he loves a good bass line. Every time the jukebox man showed up with the latest singles, he collected all the old ones. His parents gave him free rein over the hi-fi (early favorites included Help and Magical Mystery Tour). His dad co-produced concerts and music festivals in the tri-state area, letting him tag along and get glimpses into the logistics, stage productions, and rock and roll lifestyle. Starting with the Eagles at the Civic Arena in 1979, his best guess is that he's seen about 700 acts over the years. Vince was also fascinated by photography at an early age, poring over album inserts and Rolling Stone magazine covers. His mom gave him her Canon the day he set off for college, and he's been shooting ever since.A professional writing graduate from Gannon University, Vince moved from western PA to Lancaster county to pursue a career in journalism but ended up working in technology when the publishing company he worked for began developing newsletters and magazines about this new thing called "The Internet." He's been the IT Director for Godfrey, a world-ranked B2B marketing firm, for over 25 years. The shooting continued, though, with side-hustles ranging from weddings to tourism and real estate photography. His 'happy place' - where everything else just melts away- is at concerts with his Nikon in hand.Vince currently lives in Lancaster with his partner Michele, a marketing professional, and their Golden Retriever, Lucy.You can find Vince and his projects here:Website: https://www.focusphoto.bizSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations
