First, it's been awhile since I last posted on here and want to send out a huge thanks to everyone for your kind words. That bit of extra support means a lot in a time where things can easily turn sour.
Second, Richmond, Va is freaking awesome! Not working 70 hours a week is awesome! My new job is awesome! Things with my girlfriend are awesome!
After one month I'm finding that this shakeup of my entire life has proven to be one of the best things to ever happen to my girlfriend and myself. I've been doing stagehand work and she has started actually working in the field she went to school for, even though she couldn't get a job doing it right out of school.
That brings me to todays picture. I was tinkering around with my camera backstage a bit when I had some downtime and my boss saw me. I showed him a few images on the camera and he told me that as long as all my stagehand duties were done, I had free reign to do whatever I wanted with the camera as long as I didn't interfere with the show. Freaking awesome news! Not only do I have all the access the event photographers so, but I also have stage access!

This image was shot from behind the stage left subwoofer bank with a 600D and 85/1.8. I transferred it to my iPhone 5S via a Toshiba FlashAir SD card and did a small exposure adjustment in iPhoto, I haven't processed the RAW file yet. I didn't have high ISO noise reduction on in the camera as I'm not used to keeping/using the JPG's, but I may turn in on if I continue to use the FlashAir card regularly.
Nice to hear from you. That "My GF jumped ship/truck to live in VA" had a bad feel to it, so it's nice that it's working out for you.
Will this new stage gig maybe "steer" you on the "road" to using all that high power audio skill you used to sell to the "street pharmacists" before you decided to go trucking?
BTW: You need to find a new name for your blog.
BTWW: Our lunch chat about racing really got me going last year. I'm working on a 68 Mustang to run in Super Stock. Might even get it done this year.
