Crap.. so many shows.. so many pictures, so little time!

So, overwhelmed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about how backlogged I am. I just went out last night to see Children of Bodom and The Black Dahlia Murder at the Starland Ballroom. Last weekend, I went to see Trivium in Allentown at the Crocodile Rock. Like the last post said, I am still working on pics from the Mayhem Tour. Somewhere between these last two shows, I celebrated a birthday.

I am not complaining. I love all of this work. It thrills me to be able to capture these moments in time for other people to look at. I was a woman on a mission the last few shows. I had a decision to make about what lenses to buy. The store where I get my gear was nice enough to let me buy 2 similar lenses and told me to return the one I didn't like. It was pretty cool to be able to do this. I used both at Trivium and was impressed with both lenses. If you are interested in finding out more about my gear, just message me. I will try to keep this to just about the bands and shows. The Trivium show was on September 12th, so one could say I went to celebrate there for my birthday. I found out that Paolo's birthday is the same day, September 14th. Cool people are born that day!

I realized at that show that I really wish I could get on stage more often to get behind the drum kit. Drummers get left out of so many cool shots because us photographers are not allowed back there. I met Travis after the show and was really surprised at how good looking he is. He is usually hiding behind the drum kit with sunglasses and a bandana. I saw him sans his stage uniform and was taken aback. Watch out ladies.. he is a hottie!

Well I really should get back to playing with my pictures. Still have about 5 bands from the West Palm Mayhem show, the Trivium gig, and last nights festivities with Children of Bodom and Black Dahlia Murder.

Oh did I mention I am going to go see Lamb of God/Gwar/Job For a Cowboy on Tuesday! Whew.. more good times.. a mountain of pics to go through...

Till next time.
