As you know, I shoot primarily concerts and I do get to be in the 'pit' for the openings of most shows. Usually this is a great view of the artist so that I can give my clients better images because I am closer.
Some times, my view point is blocked by something or another. Tonight it was this fan which was right in between me and my lead singer. I was able to shoot around it but sometimes even I have to laugh at the things I have to deal with for my shots.
This is the inside of the Hampton Coliseum, one of the venues of which I am the house photographer. They asked me to produce this image to help market the 'quarter house' rental of the space. There is also the 'full house' and 'half house'.
This is a rare glimpse of an empty venue. You need to come see it full!
As some of you know, I photograph the performances for the Regent University Theater program. Over the weekend I shot a most unusual production of Romeo and Juliet. This was performed 'promenade style', meaning that the audience followed the action around during the show. They had no scenery or special lighting and only limited props. The costumes progressively became more modern throughout the night, while keeping the dialogue true to William Shakespeare's original script.
During the night we were ushered outside to the plaza (shown here), main lobby, the main theater, black-box theater, on stage and occasionally the audience was lined up in the hallways while the actors spoke lines in our midst. Overall it was a uniquely, fantastic night.
Bravo!
This is my new friend Dirk from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I had a fantastic time tonight with the band, my daughters and Nate. Thanks guys [Scotty and Dirk] for taking the time to talk to my girls about their music! It means a lot to me.
