Don’t shoot the bass player…Noise for the Needy 2009

That’s right…don’t shoot the bass player…this was the edict on the headliner for the first of 2 gigs I shot this weekend, both at Neumo’s supporting the Noise for the Needy 2009 Festival…

The request was an odd one, security crossed it’s eyes! but alas pretty easy to accomplish as she was stage opposite of most all the ‘togs…though I think she may be in the back ground of one my images of the lead guitarist…

Altogether it was lots of fun, met some interesting people…this was the second year in a row I shot some of the Noise for the Needy shows; last year as a volunteer for the NFTN group, and this year covering it for LiveDaily.com…It’s for a great cause and it’s great to see all the people in the Seattle music scene and beyond, coming out for it!

Kate Voegele visits the Emerald City!

Our city is now sparkling in the sun…and a bit warm! Kate Voegele and her band of talented musicans visited Seattle on her “Lift Me Up!” tour supporting her CD “A Fine Mess”…

All the squeeing girls – her music’s demographic were out, early and lined up…very excitable…I was surprised! and old….likely the oldest non parent in the crowd, err…

Anywho, Kate, a frequent guest star on the popular drama “One Tree Hill” is on tour, and hit our city during a bit of a hot streak! It was more than a bit warm at Neumo’s, the venue where she played…but alas, the crowd, with all of it’s youthful energy, triumphed over the stifling heat…As did Kate and co…

She is a gorgeous young woman, and a pleasure to capture in frame…

Selections are posted on livedaily.com
http://www.livedaily.com/photos/?p=A+Fine+Mess

Here is a fullscreen slideshow of the set…followed by a few of my favorite images from the night…

Weathered Roses…

This past weekend, was in Cottage Grove, OR visiting my Grandma…

She, at 89 still cultivates gorgeous flowers including roses…

I like to take pictures in her garden when I visit…she loves the perfect images of the rose as it is meant to be…I love the imperfect, the weathered, the wilted, the textures, etc, with the light hitting them just so…

Here are my favorite weathered roses…dreamy, creamy, blurry and a little bit like strawberry ice cream!
