Last night was incredible and I was happy to see so many other photographers out there capturing it all too.
With this shot, I’d just finished shooting at the Capitol and was heading home, thinking “Eh, the light’s fading fast, I think I got what I need.” I got home, hesitated for a second, then grabbed my tripod and ran for the lake. Damn glad that I didn’t just settle for “good enough” but instead kept on shooting!
Oh yeah, one other thing - look for Bonnaroo 2010 pics to be posted very soon!

Been a while since I’ve posted here. I’ve still been shooting plenty, just rather disinclined to update this site since I’ll be launching something new pretty soon. I’ve been staying busy shooting a few weddings and the occasional music festival, among other things. Life’s been good.
So yeah, check back soon for info about the new site that’s coming soon!
