Upcoming incoming

I always feel accomplished when I can put together some of the thoughts that go through my head and form a concise idea. When I can take the all my questioning, pondering, interactions of life–basically my thought process–and be able to organize it into something intelligible, now that’s significant.

Right now I can only wish. But life is life. Thankfully it is not an end but merely a means to an eternity. Life goes on, as always.

But anyways…

I’m shooting this guy on Saturday. It’ll most likely be one of the biggest band’s that I’ll officially shoot for, as I don’t plan on perusing a career in concert photography. As I found out with Dr. Dog, shooting more popular bands is a lot more limiting than shooting smaller bands due to the rule where you can only shoot during the first three songs. This makes it a lot harder to just go with the flow and experiment with different shots but it also makes you work fast. Then again, the band is super popular, so… that’s gotta add something, right?

Another thing that I’ve been learning about in publications is usage rights. I’m used to just putting up my favorite pictures from the day, but now I’m having to think about it more. I have to keep some pictures confidential so that a new newspaper or a new yearbook won’t have old photos. It makes sense have usage guidelines for a publication, but it’s just another thing to get used to.

For now I can tell you that I’ve been taking a lot of portraits of people the last few days. My studio has been ghettofabulous, but it’s been working. These people all have something in common: they have a story. That’s why I took pictures of them. ;)

Enough random thoughts–here’s some photo.
