The People

I've unofficially been an exclusive photographer for The People for over a year now. The People recently held a CD release party at their favorite venue, Xhedos Cafe and asked me to make the most of the extra lighting they had on hand for the evening. As any concert photographer knows, lighting is everything and without great lighting it doesn't matter what kind of camera equipment you have. We did run into a little snag when the smoke machine set off the cafe's fire alarm system, but after 15 minutes of standing in the cold, we were able to get the show back on track and had a great evening... without the smoke effects. ;-) Click on any image to view the full set of images from the evening in a flash slideshow.

March Desktop Image

Every month or so I change my desktop image to a recent photograph I've taken and I thought it would be fun to share these images in my blog so that you can download them for your desktop as well! Every month I'll try to post a new image that is suitable for displaying at desktop size and resolution. Click on an image to download a copy for your desktop.
