I'm only done photopost on 100 of the 500 images. Many more to come :)

For those that missed the bulletin:
Last night was insane. Anyone not at the Dead To Fall show.... really missed out! It has been a long time since I've been to a metal show, and man am I glad I actually went. Yes, it was brutal...yes I wanted to kill some of the stupid "dancers' that isnt' dancing. Mosh pit fine, headbanging again... fine but that stupid kick your arms and legs in a freaking windmill like stance while running into everyone there just to watch the show... not dancing. One guy punched me in the ribs while kicking me in the back of the head. I hope he liked the taste of my elbow and the blood that came momentarily after my blow to the face. Idiot! ..... only thing they are good for is a photo op.

Back to the night many of the band were absolutely sick! My favorite was Dead To Fall and not because Jon (singer) gave me access to the photographers pit after someone put in a word, but for the fact they really embodied the energy and power that is music. It was over 100ercent given. Running up the barrier having the crowd sing. For that 45 minutes or however long their set was, they were gods. Deserving gods, best show I've seen in AGES OK a tie with Trances Arc but they are two totally different genres/scenes and types of performances.

A few shots from the night I took well over 500 images so much more in photos to come, and I have to research what band is what beyond Dead To Fall to put them in galleries right. Full galleries up and a blog about it soon enough :)

Think one of the best quotes of the night was... "No more of that ninja dancing bullshit, I want to see a circle pit!".

Dont' think anything else could have made the night better at all, well except that one tiny thing ;)

If they are coming to a town near you. GO!

What did everyone else do last night?

Notice all image, blurs, motion lines, double negatives and other assorted weird lighting, trails, perfect in focus, perfect out of focus are purposeful, this is my style. I obviously know how to use a camera, it's my job :P so don't say that would be great if it was X way, if I wanted it X way it would have been done that way. Hope that doesn't sound snippy but I'm trying to grow my own art not someone elses. I love feedback though and if you think it should be a dif way the only way I want to know is if you have a saying of how YOU would have taken it and why :) I love to learn so in essence I like to hear what you would do different just not "I wish you would stop taking photos with slow settings or I wish you would stop using filtered light when taking shots" etc. That is my style, you like it or you don't it doesn't insult me if you dont like it that is freedom of choice, but I do not like it when people insist I do my stuff differently. :)

.... now for some more photos. They are a mix of the bands so don't ask me who is who just yet the ones I know for sure are Dead to Fall (DTF) and they will be marked.

All images from tonight at Reeds Gold Mine.

Tonight was fun with the kids, and while today ws a completely sad day... it's over and done with and I got a lot of great shots for my personal use nothing else. My heart shows the most when I'm just shooting images to shoot and not worrying about if they can be used for print, or who wants what or if they are going to like my eye.

Tomorrow is "The Noises Ten" show if I'm awake and done my papers by then.

Night night! :)

The day was hard, but the night was much better. Only up from here and soon is Halloween.

Latest Installment of Annoy Joe photo. Latest Installment of Annoy Joe photo. Only one for the most part I put the camera away, we watched "Constantine" boy I loved that movie. The concept and special effects were neat, yeah some of it was cheesy but nice movie. We talked for hours about life itself and the offer I got last night and I'm debating it hard, but who am I to pick that. My family is my first priority it has to be right? This will benefit and this will harm, I love what I do and what I could pick and what is going on. There are problems in there with that though, evolution.

Trying to find you.

I always seem on the outside looking in on you

You sleep right there glowing, light always upon you and I feel so naive. For things are how they should be and I keep trying to find the light, but you deserve it all , I only take what I can get.

I always seem on the outside looking in on you wondering where the key is.

Why am I longing for rain?
