i ran into some people i knew from a long long long time ago.
it was crazy.
i can't believe i used to have a crush on one of them.
haha dana you know what i'm talking about!

we sat at the front of house soundboard for the show.

while i was gone i photographed Chris Brown and a slew of hip hop stars.

yes kids, it did happen.
and there was a hyphy juice can dancing around when there was a bum rush and i don't know what was funnier, that or the sight of my cousin dana destined watchin mims.

I have been heavily procrastinating resizing and tagging my photos to the point of photography upload withdrawl.
i stayed up trying to figure out how to resize the images since they were being little jerks and wouldn't resize correctly.

so with that, i give you . . . . .  .  . Fall Out Boy on Honda Civic Tour June 30th 2007 in Concord, CA at the Sleep Train Pavilion!

so in other news!

BE SURE TO BE THERE!
and while you're there, be sure to pay attention to the set of Tofer Brown.
he has uh-may-zeeng-lee great music over on his myspace.
hopefully i will see you all  there and i'll photograph you front row in the crowd!
and hopefully i'll see you also at the A SKYLIT DRIVE / DANCE GAVIN DANCE show too!
check out http://myspace.com/jamfactoryconcerts for more info on dates and who is playing at The Empire Theatre in Stockton!

apparently i love exclamation points!!!

hope all is well with everyone.
tomorrow is my day off from barnes and noble so i will probably either be
a)sleeping in late
b)hanging out with dana
3)busy with a photography session
d) all of the above

love.wasabi

i think this is going to sound heck of lame.
even more lame than saying "heck of".

i've had a craptasic month.
today i've just felt really tired, and run down and needed a good pick me up.
i was looking on buzznet at photos of bands here, and i came across some that are mine.
other users have uploaded them and people have commented them a lot.
that made me smile.
it makes me happy to know that people enjoy my work.
it makes me feel good to know that people love what comes out of what i love doing.
they love or like the photos i take of their favorite artists enough to share them with everyone else and that just made me feel a thousand times better.
thank you guys so much for the support and kind words on my style of photography.
i appreciate it.

on to some news and pictures included:

i will be photographing two shows this coming week.
both of which i'm pretty darn happy to be doing.
the first one is Eric Burdon and The Animals.
that show is going to be CLASSIC and I AM EXCITED!
for those of you who don't know, Eric Burdon was one of the many fantastic performers at the Monterey Pop Festival.
if you don't know what the MPF was, well, go look it up kiddies!

also i will be photographing Chris Brown.
apparently Billboard magazine is calling him "The Next King of Pop" which is a pretty big statement.
however, he is a great dancer and i can't wait to get some great shots of him.
and yes, i know, he is NOT a rock band, and i specialize in Rock Concert Photography, but he is pretty damn talented none the less.
and did i mention the kid can dance?
yeah.
so as promised before, pictures from warped tour!
 MORE in the PHOTOS section of my buzznet y'all!
