Went to TechSet @ Eden NYC last night to support Empressr (it was a nerd gathering related to Web2Expo). Lots of low-light shots, and with a firmware upgrade I’m better able to shoot ISO2000 without having the picture become digital garbage.
If I took yer pic and told you it would be here – it is. Follow the link below. :)

Went to Rumsey Field (Central Park Summerstage) to see and shoot Illinois, Stellastar, and The Kooks tonight for Bumpershine (Thanks Dave!).
Fun show, though the stage lighting caused me a few problems here and there. Being back to only one camera body, I remembered how much I don’t like to change lenses during the performances. This venue gave me three songs worth of shooting time per act – and I probably needed all of it.
In other news: I (pre) ordered the new Sony a900 today… I am really hoping for a big boost in high ISO shot quality, but so far nothing really stands out in the reviews. That will bring me back to two-body shooting, all for the low low price of $3K + Tax. Ouch.
Wondering if I shouldn’t just cancel the order, hock all my Sony gear, and hop on the Nikon Bandwagon… nah, too easy. I can always jump ship later. I may lose several hundred on the body, but at least I won’t wonder how the a900 is/was.

It took me a long time to just get down to it. Dribs and drabs were flowing, but I was a little overwhelmed until I came up with a way to organize and display the images from two weeks ago.
I shot the Virgin Mobile Festival for two days in Baltimore, MD on August 9th and 10th. I came back with a lot of pictures. The set (sets?) linked to below covers almost everything I shot. I put up JPGs (shot RAW+Jpg) from the camera with some cropping for composition. I didn’t have enough time or inspiration to edit and tweak each one – just too many. :)
I think I did alright, but see a few areas where I need to work on my technique. Something to look forward to…

Went to the Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore over the weekend to shoot (thanks, Dave @ Bumpershine).
A lot of acts on the bill, including Stone temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, Bob Dylan, Kanye West, Foo Fighters, Iggy and The Stooges, Lil Wayne, Chuck Berry, and many more. Bob and Kanye weren’t having it with the photographers, so no dice there for what would have been some great shots.
Here is a teaser gallery (while I sort through the 43GB of images I took).

Had an open Friday night and went to see Bell at Joe’s Public. She’s really coming into her own, even getting into SPIN magazine. If you get the opportunity, check her/them out.
Performance was great, and if you’re interested – pick up the EP here. $5 well spent. For more on the band, follow this link over to their MySpace page.

Now there's a face for radio...
