Busta Rhymes @ Street Scene 09

Oh Busta, you were the second act in a row to go over 20 minutes late. The other 30 photographers and I were all pretty upset that you put our precisely set up schedule in the blender. You were late because of sound issues and I understand but come on spend the extra cash and find someone who knows how to get rid of interference / feedback.

Photo Notes:

Besides being late he was energetic but stayed fairly still. All images are unedited.

Band of Horses @ Street Scene 09

Walking away from shooting Band of Horses all that I remember is Ben Bridwell's voice. I know I stood there in the pit a few times just staring in amazement. They put on a great show to say the least.

Photo Notes:

Next to editing because I enjoy shooting the show and not so much editing the images. My view on editing has always been keep as close to the original as possible. More images are available on my flickr.

Night with Mike of Pierce the Veil

Mani, a good friend of mine, called me and asked if I wanted to come out and shoot the rockstar Mike. I have shot Pierce the Veil a few times and they always put on a great show. I enjoy shooting people who have experience in front of the camera because the difference shows in the images.

Photo Notes:

Mike was a lot of fun to shoot, the three of us had a good time. For all but the very last image was 2 umbrellas with a SB-600 and SB-800. One on the left and one on the right. These flashes are really powerful at the distance I usually shoot at so they were set at a low power. I almost never shoot at 0 power with the flashes.
