<p>Overall, I continued to shoot shows&#8230; I even shot Bumbershoot this year &#8211; you&#8217;ll see several shots from this in the review set:)</p>
<p>I upgraded equipment around April  &#8211; from my trusty Rebel to my 5dmkII &amp; 7d combo, along with the 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8 IS L,  50 1.4 &#8211; keeping my trusty 100 2.0 &#8211; and more recently (October) adding the 15mm 2.8 fisheye.  So lot&#8217;s of new toys to learn to use &#8211; and hopefully get more good shots.</p>

<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>There were a handful of notable shows where the images and getting of images, was just so fun &#8211;  that I can barely choose what my favorite frames were &#8211; I just loved the entire  sets !  Those were probably June&#8217;s &#8211; <a href="../../blog/2010/06/concert-photography-imogen-heap-friends-at-the-paramount-shes-one-cool-lady.html">Imogen Heap</a> show (pictured at right), July&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://backbeatseattle.com/wordpress/?p=26063"><strong>Sextreme Ball</strong></a>&#8220;,  September&#8217;s &#8211; <a href="../../2010/10/new-blog-concert-photography-train-pulls-into-redmond-and-closes-the-outdoor-season-at-marymoor.html">Train</a> show, obviously- September&#8217;s &#8211; <strong><a href="../../2010/10/new-blog-concert-photography-bumbershoot-2010.html"><strong>Bumbershoot</strong></a></strong>, and October&#8217;s &#8211; <a href="../../2010/10/new-blog-concert-photography-never-shout-never-at-the-showbox-market.html">Never Shout Never</a> gig.  As well, I finally got to see one of my faves from the Rock Star days &#8211; <a href="http://photosbyelisa.com/tag/ryan-star" target="_blank">Ryan Star</a> &#8211; who managed to visit Seattle, not once, but twice(!) in one week in September 2010 &#8211; <a href="http://seelouder.com/featured-news-ryan-stars-1159-climbs-the-charts-joins-train-on-tour.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Ryan&#8217;s 11:59</em></strong></a> is doing well, and it was so great to see him live again &#8211; hadn&#8217;t seen him perform since 2006.</p>
<p>I also tried my hand at capturing more crowd &#8211; some successful, sometimes less so&#8230; <span id="more-1730"></span>These are tricky and require &#8211; quickly modified exposures, the right angle of view, wide glass, good timing &#8211; and well, an enthused crowd &#8211; a lot of variables that don&#8217;t always come together&#8230;<br />

<p>Overall, I continued to shoot shows&#8230; I even shot Bumbershoot this year &#8211; you&#8217;ll see several shots from this in the review set:)</p>
<p>I upgraded equipment around April  &#8211; from my trusty Rebel to my 5dmkII &amp; 7d combo, along with the 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8 IS L,  50 1.4 &#8211; keeping my trusty 100 2.0 &#8211; and more recently (October) adding the 15mm 2.8 fisheye.  So lot&#8217;s of new toys to learn to use &#8211; and hopefully get more good shots.</p>

<p>There were a handful of notable shows where the images and getting of images, was just so fun &#8211;  that I can barely choose what my favorite frames were &#8211; I just loved the entire  sets !

<p>I also tried my hand at capturing more crowd &#8211; some successful, sometimes less so&#8230; <span id="more-3982"></span>These are tricky and require &#8211; quickly modified exposures, the right angle of view, wide glass, good timing &#8211; and well, an enthused crowd &#8211; a lot of variables that don&#8217;t always come together&#8230;<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In prep for my 2010 &#8220;year in review&#8221; I have been going through my catalog of images&#8230;<br />
<img title="LIGHTS - performing in April 2009, opening for Owl City, at the Paramount Theatre, in Seattle, WA" src="http://photosbyelisa.com/newshome2011/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/lightsx600-copy1.jpg" alt="LIGHTS - performing in April 2009, opening for Owl City, at the Paramount Theatre, in Seattle, WA" width="600" height="480" /></p>
<p>One of the fun things &#8211; though, is not just my faves &#8211; but my most popular images &#8211; over time.  <span id="more-1579"></span>Honestly, they are often not my absolute faves, nor technically best &#8211; but there is something about the images that make people look again, and again, no?  Whether it&#8217;s just the popularity of the artist(very common &#8211; they don&#8217;t call &#8217;em &#8220;pop&#8221; stars for nothing!) or great SEO, or luck &#8211; whatever it is, it&#8217;s kind of fun&#8230;</p>
<p>Also &#8211; it takes a lot for the newer images to break through &#8211; but the ones that do &#8211; also a surprise&#8230; I would say the winner of those this year &#8211; probably LIGHTS and maybe Never Shout Never?</p>
<p><a title="Never Shout Never by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/5101734340/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5101734340_1fe26f4627_z.jpg" alt="Never Shout Never" width="600" /></a><br />
<span style="color: grey;"><em><strong>Never Shout Never aka Christofer Drew Ingle &#8211; 2010</strong> &#8211; teeny bopper fans were lined up literally around the block for this guy&#8230;the average age was probably between 13-15 &#8211; and girls were fainting in excitement and likely dehydration in the crowd leading up to and during the show&#8230;</em></span></p>
<p>A couple things I use to gauge popularity are flickr stats, blog/site stats, and google rankings of various images.  On the latter &#8211; SEO on the first 2(flickr/site) directly impact.  Doing it right in those places leads people to find my images who would otherwise never know to look there&#8230;  And that&#8217;s great &#8211; otherwise, it&#8217;s just my friends looking &#8211; which is great &#8211; but you know, we all want world wide fame&#8230;ha ha!</p>
<p>I have done pretty well on google for sometime &#8211; even before I shot much live&#8230; Google likes me I guess;)  Even now, I am not the most prolific shooter in Seattle &#8211; far from!  But, for various popular searches, my photos turn up with frequency.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: purple;">Oh, and I finally have images when you search my name <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=elisa+sherman">&gt;&gt;google: elisa sherman&lt;&lt;</a>&#8230;yay me (total vanity moment &#8211; apparently this isn&#8217;t true for everyone, and hadn&#8217;t until recently shown up for me!)<br />
</span><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5282/5227402865_7977427dfe_z.jpg" alt="" width="600" /></em></p>
<p>Of course &#8211; all that is to say, if the subject is popular &#8211; then they get googled &#8211; and if you label / SEO things well &#8211; you get that perfect storm &#8211; all the labeling, indexing, etc doesn&#8217;t matter if no one cares about the subject &#8211; I mean there is the art of it, sure&#8230;but that only goes so far, and honestly, it&#8217;s just my friends or photog followers that look at my photos because they&#8217;re cool/pretty&#8230; Fans, press, bands, etc, all are looking for more particular subject matter.  So for that reason &#8211; I practically obsessively google shows I shoot after, to see if my images are scoring high in google/google image searches.  They usually are&#8230;either from flickr, or my site &#8211; photosbyelisa.com, photoshelter, facebook, twitter, the pub am shooting for, etc.  I don&#8217;t care how they find them &#8211; only that they find them.  They are out there &#8211; and that&#8217;s the whole point, no?</p>
<p>All of this search bits &#8211; and whatnot, is maybe just a vanity project, who knows &#8211; but if nothing else, it shows me what is actually popular &#8211; and feedback, emails etc I might get from bands or other interested parties, reinforce for me that it does matter.</p>
<p>Will I ever be a rock star of a photographer?  Who knows &#8211; as in actual pursuit of music, luck has more than a bit to do with that&#8230;I mean, there are a milieu of gorgeous, iconic images of live music out there.  It&#8217;s hard to stand out, get noticed, etc.  But, I&#8217;ll continue to shoot rock stars, because they inspire me.  They are the epitome of drama &#8211; amongst the glowy flashing lights and fog&#8230;They sing, they play, they bang (drums, etc, lol) to the masses that throb and cheer for them&#8230;then they turn into regular people, but always with a little twinkle in their eyes, because they are rock stars when they are up on that stage &#8211; whether in front of 5 people or 50thousand.  My mission is to capture those in between moments.  Not to match everyone elses images &#8211; and not to be the technical best.</p>
<p>Will I ever be most popular? Maybe not! But google will still love me, and that&#8217;s ok with me;)</p>
<p>Some of my most popular music images (2006-2010) &#8211; what do you think?</p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong>Kate Voegele &#8211; 2009</strong> &#8211; perhaps best known for her turn as rising star on TV&#8217;s &#8220;One Tree Hill&#8221; &#8211; had fans lined up hours before the show&#8230;played to a packed house at Neumo&#8217;s.<br />
<a title="Kate Voegele by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3621200474/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3621200474_3f63c88f90_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Kate Voegele" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong>Bat for Lashes &#8211; 2009</strong> &#8211; performed in near darkness most of the night &#8211; so I decided to find the drama and go black and white with the set &#8211; eclectic performer &#8211; and she seems to have quite a following &#8211; on top of the interesting stage name!<br />
<a title="Bat for Lashes by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3866175245/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2196/3866175245_a56835babc_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Bat for Lashes" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p>A couple oldies &#8211; quality is definitely in question &#8211; but, again, it&#8217;s not necessarily the best photos that get noticed, it&#8217;s who, what, where when&#8230;but good ones keep em coming back!</p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=storm%20large&amp;w=66967434%40N00">Storm Large &#8211; 2006</a></strong> &#8211; Some of my most earliest favorite music images are of Storm &#8211; all shot with my old Olympus point and shoot&#8230;she&#8217;s gorgeous, expressive, and well excessively photogenic.  This one gets the most hits still from the archives&#8230;Also, one of the first times my images were used for anything &#8211; in this case, accompanying an<a href="http://www.rockbandlounge.com/news/2006-11-storm-large.asp"> interview with said Ms. Large.</a><br />
<a title="Storm Large of Storm and the Balls at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, November 2006 photo by Elisa Sherman by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/407436233/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/407436233_b79ca90ed7_b.jpg" alt="Storm Large of Storm and the Balls at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, November 2006 photo by Elisa Sherman" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;">A few more popular oldies, <strong>Daughtry &#8211; 2007</strong> &amp; <strong>Blake Lewis &#8211; 2007</strong> &#8211; both of American Idol fame&#8230;no wonder they are popular!<br />
<a title="00_Daughtry_Feb2007-050 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/413225263/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/413225263_46db5ba1f2.jpg" alt="Daughtry 2007" height="300" /></a> <a title="Blake Lewis at Westlake Park in Seattle, May 2007 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/494065630/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/196/494065630_cd766c6336.jpg" alt="Blake Lewis at Westlake Park in Seattle, May 2007" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/collections/72157600024516617/"><strong>INXS &#8211; 2006</strong></a> &#8211; Of course, I can&#8217;t leave out some of my most popular to date images are due to what got me started in all this &#8211; INXS &#8211; 2006-2007 Switched on Tour, front row again and again&#8230;Who by the by, are getting together once again, dropping a re-imagining of their hits performed by contemporary artists &#8211; <a href="http://www.petrolelectric.com/originalsin/cmmurphy.htm">Original Sin</a>, and back in league with their 2005 RockStar INXS winner and new lead singer, Canadian, JD Fortune &#8211; in this world, a little bit of INXS must fall!  The following image of said INXS newcomer, JD Fortune &#8211; was a great subject, and no wonder, this is what enticed me to shoot rock stars!<br />
<a title="JD Fortune of INXS at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA, December 2006 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/419776677/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/153/419776677_92d7dcf6de_z.jpg" alt="JD Fortune of INXS at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA, December 2006" width="600" /></a><br />
</span><br />
And then there are the images that get noticed &#8211; the following have all led to something beyond just that days shooting&#8230;usually from the unexpected subjects!<br />
<strong><br />
<span style="color: grey;"><a title="Foxy Shazam-19 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com" href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/04/new-foxy-shazam-cd-featuring-cd-image.html">Foxy Shazam &#8211; 2009</a></span></strong><span style="color: grey;"> &#8211; this my first piece of CD artwork &#8211; the band contacted me, and had to have it!  They were a surprise needless to say&#8230;fun for sure &#8211; and I was at the show(Sounds headlined) to shoot the second opener, <a href="http://backbeatseattle.com/wordpress/?p=9335">Semi Precious Weapons</a><br />
<a title="Foxy Shazam-19 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/04/new-foxy-shazam-cd-featuring-cd-image.html"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2559/4097805930_363611d646_o.jpg" alt="Foxy Shazam-19" width="600" /></a><br />
<strong><br />
Toad the Wet Sprocket &#8211; 2010 </strong>&#8211; a surprisingly popular set&#8230;perhaps not so surprising? They have been around a while, and it was a short tour &#8211; so a very limited amount of images&#8230;lot&#8217;s of hits when they went live on SoundSpike, as well as feedback from the band that they were some of their favorite photos.  They clearly love what they do &#8211; and their fans appreciate them!  Their fans have been around for a while, and they prove that not every popular muso requires a teen audience&#8230;<br />
<a title="01-Toad the Wet Sprocket by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/4882885556/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4882885556_4acb8fe7a2_z.jpg" alt="01-Toad the Wet Sprocket" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><a href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/06/new-psychedelic-furs-website-photo-featured.html"><strong>Psychedelic Furs &#8211; 2009</strong></a> &#8211; this images featuring their drummer (who I didn&#8217;t get any shots of at the 2010 show) has been used by the band in their newly launched website.  Definitely Pretty in Pink!<br />
<a title="Psychedelic Furs by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3930870428/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/3930870428_671592abc8_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Psychedelic Furs" width="600" /></a></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In prep for my 2010 &#8220;year in review&#8221; I have been going through my catalog of images&#8230;<br />
<img title="LIGHTS - performing in April 2009, opening for Owl City, at the Paramount Theatre, in Seattle, WA" src="http://photosbyelisa.com/newshome2011v8/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/lightsx600-copy1.jpg" alt="LIGHTS - performing in April 2009, opening for Owl City, at the Paramount Theatre, in Seattle, WA" width="600" height="480" /></p>
<p>One of the fun things &#8211; though, is not just my faves &#8211; but my most popular images &#8211; over time.  <span id="more-3945"></span>Honestly, they are often not my absolute faves, nor technically best &#8211; but there is something about the images that make people look again, and again, no?  Whether it&#8217;s just the popularity of the artist(very common &#8211; they don&#8217;t call &#8217;em &#8220;pop&#8221; stars for nothing!) or great SEO, or luck &#8211; whatever it is, it&#8217;s kind of fun&#8230;</p>
<p>Also &#8211; it takes a lot for the newer images to break through &#8211; but the ones that do &#8211; also a surprise&#8230; I would say the winner of those this year &#8211; probably LIGHTS and maybe Never Shout Never?</p>
<p><a title="Never Shout Never by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/5101734340/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4127/5101734340_1fe26f4627_z.jpg" alt="Never Shout Never" width="600" /></a><br />
<span style="color: grey;"><em><strong>Never Shout Never aka Christofer Drew Ingle &#8211; 2010</strong> &#8211; teeny bopper fans were lined up literally around the block for this guy&#8230;the average age was probably between 13-15 &#8211; and girls were fainting in excitement and likely dehydration in the crowd leading up to and during the show&#8230;</em></span></p>
<p>A couple things I use to gauge popularity are flickr stats, blog/site stats, and google rankings of various images.  On the latter &#8211; SEO on the first 2(flickr/site) directly impact.  Doing it right in those places leads people to find my images who would otherwise never know to look there&#8230;  And that&#8217;s great &#8211; otherwise, it&#8217;s just my friends looking &#8211; which is great &#8211; but you know, we all want world wide fame&#8230;ha ha!</p>
<p>I have done pretty well on google for sometime &#8211; even before I shot much live&#8230; Google likes me I guess;)  Even now, I am not the most prolific shooter in Seattle &#8211; far from!  But, for various popular searches, my photos turn up with frequency.</p>
<p><em><span style="color: purple;">Oh, and I finally have images when you search my name <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=elisa+sherman">&gt;&gt;google: elisa sherman&lt;&lt;</a>&#8230;yay me (total vanity moment &#8211; apparently this isn&#8217;t true for everyone, and hadn&#8217;t until recently shown up for me!)<br />
</span><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5282/5227402865_7977427dfe_z.jpg" alt="" width="600" /></em></p>
<p>Of course &#8211; all that is to say, if the subject is popular &#8211; then they get googled &#8211; and if you label / SEO things well &#8211; you get that perfect storm &#8211; all the labeling, indexing, etc doesn&#8217;t matter if no one cares about the subject &#8211; I mean there is the art of it, sure&#8230;but that only goes so far, and honestly, it&#8217;s just my friends or photog followers that look at my photos because they&#8217;re cool/pretty&#8230; Fans, press, bands, etc, all are looking for more particular subject matter.  So for that reason &#8211; I practically obsessively google shows I shoot after, to see if my images are scoring high in google/google image searches.  They usually are&#8230;either from flickr, or my site &#8211; photosbyelisa.com, photoshelter, facebook, twitter, the pub am shooting for, etc.  I don&#8217;t care how they find them &#8211; only that they find them.  They are out there &#8211; and that&#8217;s the whole point, no?</p>
<p>All of this search bits &#8211; and whatnot, is maybe just a vanity project, who knows &#8211; but if nothing else, it shows me what is actually popular &#8211; and feedback, emails etc I might get from bands or other interested parties, reinforce for me that it does matter.</p>
<p>Will I ever be a rock star of a photographer?  Who knows &#8211; as in actual pursuit of music, luck has more than a bit to do with that&#8230;I mean, there are a milieu of gorgeous, iconic images of live music out there.  It&#8217;s hard to stand out, get noticed, etc.  But, I&#8217;ll continue to shoot rock stars, because they inspire me.  They are the epitome of drama &#8211; amongst the glowy flashing lights and fog&#8230;They sing, they play, they bang (drums, etc, lol) to the masses that throb and cheer for them&#8230;then they turn into regular people, but always with a little twinkle in their eyes, because they are rock stars when they are up on that stage &#8211; whether in front of 5 people or 50thousand.  My mission is to capture those in between moments.  Not to match everyone elses images &#8211; and not to be the technical best.</p>
<p>Will I ever be most popular? Maybe not! But google will still love me, and that&#8217;s ok with me;)</p>
<p>Some of my most popular music images (2006-2010) &#8211; what do you think?</p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong>Kate Voegele &#8211; 2009</strong> &#8211; perhaps best known for her turn as rising star on TV&#8217;s &#8220;One Tree Hill&#8221; &#8211; had fans lined up hours before the show&#8230;played to a packed house at Neumo&#8217;s.<br />
<a title="Kate Voegele by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3621200474/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3585/3621200474_3f63c88f90_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Kate Voegele" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong>Bat for Lashes &#8211; 2009</strong> &#8211; performed in near darkness most of the night &#8211; so I decided to find the drama and go black and white with the set &#8211; eclectic performer &#8211; and she seems to have quite a following &#8211; on top of the interesting stage name!<br />
<a title="Bat for Lashes by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3866175245/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2196/3866175245_a56835babc_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Bat for Lashes" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p>A couple oldies &#8211; quality is definitely in question &#8211; but, again, it&#8217;s not necessarily the best photos that get noticed, it&#8217;s who, what, where when&#8230;but good ones keep em coming back!</p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><strong><a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=storm%20large&amp;w=66967434%40N00">Storm Large &#8211; 2006</a></strong> &#8211; Some of my most earliest favorite music images are of Storm &#8211; all shot with my old Olympus point and shoot&#8230;she&#8217;s gorgeous, expressive, and well excessively photogenic.  This one gets the most hits still from the archives&#8230;Also, one of the first times my images were used for anything &#8211; in this case, accompanying an<a href="http://www.rockbandlounge.com/news/2006-11-storm-large.asp"> interview with said Ms. Large.</a><br />
<a title="Storm Large of Storm and the Balls at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, November 2006 photo by Elisa Sherman by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/407436233/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/407436233_b79ca90ed7_b.jpg" alt="Storm Large of Storm and the Balls at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, November 2006 photo by Elisa Sherman" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;">A few more popular oldies, <strong>Daughtry &#8211; 2007</strong> &amp; <strong>Blake Lewis &#8211; 2007</strong> &#8211; both of American Idol fame&#8230;no wonder they are popular!<br />
<a title="00_Daughtry_Feb2007-050 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/413225263/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/413225263_46db5ba1f2.jpg" alt="Daughtry 2007" height="300" /></a> <a title="Blake Lewis at Westlake Park in Seattle, May 2007 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/494065630/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/196/494065630_cd766c6336.jpg" alt="Blake Lewis at Westlake Park in Seattle, May 2007" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/collections/72157600024516617/"><strong>INXS &#8211; 2006</strong></a> &#8211; Of course, I can&#8217;t leave out some of my most popular to date images are due to what got me started in all this &#8211; INXS &#8211; 2006-2007 Switched on Tour, front row again and again&#8230;Who by the by, are getting together once again, dropping a re-imagining of their hits performed by contemporary artists &#8211; <a href="http://www.petrolelectric.com/originalsin/cmmurphy.htm">Original Sin</a>, and back in league with their 2005 RockStar INXS winner and new lead singer, Canadian, JD Fortune &#8211; in this world, a little bit of INXS must fall!  The following image of said INXS newcomer, JD Fortune &#8211; was a great subject, and no wonder, this is what enticed me to shoot rock stars!<br />
<a title="JD Fortune of INXS at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA, December 2006 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/419776677/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/153/419776677_92d7dcf6de_z.jpg" alt="JD Fortune of INXS at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA, December 2006" width="600" /></a><br />
</span><br />
And then there are the images that get noticed &#8211; the following have all led to something beyond just that days shooting&#8230;usually from the unexpected subjects!<br />
<strong><br />
<span style="color: grey;"><a title="Foxy Shazam-19 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com" href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/04/new-foxy-shazam-cd-featuring-cd-image.html">Foxy Shazam &#8211; 2009</a></span></strong><span style="color: grey;"> &#8211; this my first piece of CD artwork &#8211; the band contacted me, and had to have it!  They were a surprise needless to say&#8230;fun for sure &#8211; and I was at the show(Sounds headlined) to shoot the second opener, <a href="http://backbeatseattle.com/wordpress/?p=9335">Semi Precious Weapons</a><br />
<a title="Foxy Shazam-19 by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/04/new-foxy-shazam-cd-featuring-cd-image.html"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2559/4097805930_363611d646_o.jpg" alt="Foxy Shazam-19" width="600" /></a><br />
<strong><br />
Toad the Wet Sprocket &#8211; 2010 </strong>&#8211; a surprisingly popular set&#8230;perhaps not so surprising? They have been around a while, and it was a short tour &#8211; so a very limited amount of images&#8230;lot&#8217;s of hits when they went live on SoundSpike, as well as feedback from the band that they were some of their favorite photos.  They clearly love what they do &#8211; and their fans appreciate them!  Their fans have been around for a while, and they prove that not every popular muso requires a teen audience&#8230;<br />
<a title="01-Toad the Wet Sprocket by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/4882885556/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4100/4882885556_4acb8fe7a2_z.jpg" alt="01-Toad the Wet Sprocket" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: grey;"><a href="http://photosbyelisa.com/2010/06/new-psychedelic-furs-website-photo-featured.html"><strong>Psychedelic Furs &#8211; 2009</strong></a> &#8211; this images featuring their drummer (who I didn&#8217;t get any shots of at the 2010 show) has been used by the band in their newly launched website.  Definitely Pretty in Pink!<br />
<a title="Psychedelic Furs by Elisa Sherman | photosbyelisa.com, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emswazzu/3930870428/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2586/3930870428_671592abc8_z.jpg?zz=1" alt="Psychedelic Furs" width="600" /></a></span></p>
<p>Next up, in a week or so &#8211; 2010 Year in Review &#8211; my fave images, and thoughts on the year and next, coming, soon-ish;)</p>
