September 25: More Reverb photo shoots. I wasn’t supposed to shoot this show initially, but the original photographer had to back out, so I stepped in. One of the great things about these Reverb shows is meeting photographers from other outlets who are likewise covering it. On this particular night, I met someone who shoots for a paper in Boulder. We chatted for a while before the show, and between acts, and it was quite inspiring to discuss technique and share ideas about our craft. This world of photography can get quite competitive in many ways, but I’ve found that more often than not, fellow photographers are really open to sharing a bit of themselves and their passion for this art with other like-minded individuals. It’s an uplifting experience.
September 26: Doesn’t he look wary? I’d like to think his pretty worldly too. Sputnik and my mom brought this guy back from Canada when they went to the great white north in August. Nothing like a sea captain to make you think about the world.
Or something.
OK, I’m just making stuff up now.
September 27: I was witness to a UFO landing late last month. Luckily I had my camera with me and could snap up this photo real quick like.
What? That’s not at all believable and you really think this is probably just a light fixture at a tavern in Denver?
Oh, well, all right then.
Still, kind of a cool color, right?
September 28: This particular K.F. post is just a sandwich made with two Reverb shoots for bread. (How’s that for an analogy?) This show – Local Natives and the Love Language – took place at the Fox theatre in Boulder. I have never shot a show with better lighting. I loved this lighting. Like really loved it. This is serious business. The whole evening was rife with opportunity to back light images (as seen here), and to get nice and close in order to capture this kind of shot.
I think it’s safe to say this was my favorite Reverb assignment to date.
