Weber is passionate about providing an accurate representation of Iowa’s music culture through his photography. He wants to see more photographers coming out to local shows.

“Photography is like music or any other art. The way that I capture these images is going to be different than the way anybody else does,” Weber says. “I would like there to be a more diverse set of images that capture the Iowa music scene.”

“Just because we aren’t Chicago or New York or L.A. doesn’t mean that we don’t need to have our scene represented just as well as they do.”
