JOSHUA DALSIMER’S PROFESSIONAL CAREER STARTED AT AGE 16, NOT WITH A CAMERA IN HIS HANDS BUT WITH A PAIR OF DRUM STICKS. WHEN SOME OF US WERE LUCKY TO HOLD DOWN A JOB AT DAIRY QUEEN, JOSHUA WAS OFF TOURING AS THE DRUMMER FOR THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE BOSSTONES, JOSH PLAYED WITH A FEW OTHER BANDS LANDING RECORD DEALS WITH BOTH MAJOR AND INDEPENDENT LABELS. AFTER SEVERAL TOURS AND ALBUMS JOSH REALIZED THERE WERE OTHER CREATIVE OUTLETS HE WANTED TO EXPLORE.
“I ALWAYS LOOKED AT DRUMS AND PHOTOGRAPHY AS VERY SIMILAR DISCIPLINES.” HE SAYS, BOTH TAKE PLACE BEHIND THE SCENE. HOWEVER, BOTH LAY DOWN A FOUNDATION THAT HELPS CREATE A LOOK OR SOUND.” JOSHUA ADDS, “COLLABORATION IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH. MUSIC HELPED ME LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLY ABOUT IDEAS WITH OTHER CREATIVE PEOPLE.”
