East Coast First...

Here I am... long time no post. No reason to really... haven't had the time to get myself hooked-up shooting shows. But... just last week, my opportunity arrived from the West Coast. My pal, Tim Bramlette, who is the "Merch Guy" for Donavon Frankenrieter set me up with a pass to shoot his performance at StageOne in Fairfield, CT.

The BIG bonus?... my other pal, Seth Pettersen was on the bus! He's opening up for all of Donavon's East Coast stops. So... I was lucky to see my two buddies, see Seth play, see Donavon and his amazing band play, and hang out all day on the bus like a rock star.

The BIG downer?... the mirror fell out of my Canon 5D half way through Donavon's set. Yes, I am part rookie and showed up to the gig with one camera body. So... I thought, hell with it, I'll shoot from the hip with a wide lens. Nope... the 5D's mirror assists in auto focus.

So... I just got pretty buzzed and hung out with a bunch of cool folks. Below are some of the shots I took before my camera shit the bed...









Thanks to Tim, Seth, Donavon and his band for letting me hang...
