Retrospective - Flashback - whatever!!
Here is my blog posting from 11 months ago, when this whole concert photography thing got started... Exactly 11 months to the day later I had my Spin Magazine gig. Thank you Robin Slick! If it were not for the friendship that I developed with Robin after she made this initial comment my career as a concert photographer would never have begun.

last night fortune smiled upon me again and i won tickets to a show at Slim's in San Francisco. it was a show i would have been happy to purchase a ticket to attend, but finances and the fact that i should have been in class last night urged my better sense to not indulge. thank you fates for changing the course of my life, yet again.
seeing Adrian perform last night was a phenomenal experience. there was one person between me and him i was that close to the stage. oh, and i am done using my phone cam to document concerts that i attend when i could very well have been using my "real camera" - so i apologize for this soft focus/artsy shots.
watching him, hearing him - the King Crimson influences and collaborations that he need not be embarrassed of owning rights to play; he is one ecstatically happy man that emotes through a machine, a guitar, and well - i was electrified, the crowd was electrified, probably the most on-fire audience i've been part of at a show at Slim's. truly marvelous night.

Hey, these pics are cool and the first ones I've seen of last night. Thank you. Now. Can you email me and tell me how you managed to get music playing on your blog? That's been my fantasy for two years!
