I apologize for the long absence and radio silence on my part. Things have been super crazy since my last post. Many shows have been photographed. Life had dealt many good and bad things a like. I found love, lost it, and currently working on finding it again. I lost a great deal of myself and am working on refinding myself and getting back to the things that are most important to me. Spending time with friends and family, working on my photography career so that i don't have to continue working at Wendy's forever. I love the people I work with but I just can't stay there forever. It's draining and doesn't pay near enough for the bills I have to pay and the trips and shoots I have planned.
Thankfully things are starting to pick back up again. I've been shooting a lot more and recently started working on a podcast and doing shoots and interviews for that. It's been a great deal of fun. And I cant' wait to see what it leads to in the future.
lets see...since my last post I've shot many shows the most recent one was Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI). With everything I've been dealing with lately seeing them perform with all that energy and angst and rage in their music really allowed me to get out of my head and focus on me and just enjoying myself. Even was able to meet the band after the show. I have to admit I had a fangirl moment when meeting Mrs. Lynz Way. She was super sweet and meeting her was just icing on the cake. :)
I'm still shooting for AMG...though I don't know for how much longer. Due to recent things that have happened. I was suppose to have gotten the pass for MSI through them, but they gave my pass to another photographer. Luckily I know someone who has their own music publication site and he managed to get me a pass through his site. It really pays to know people and have friends who are into all sorts of different things. The same friend is going to help me create my own music publication...that I'm currently in talks with him and getting everything I need to set that up. I'm ready to take my career into my own hands and be the one in charge of getting my own passes and everything. I'm tired of depending on someone else to do it and being left disappointed because I was either passed over or my pass was given to someone else. bleh.
anywho, that's about it. Will try and keep this thing up to date. and will later post the photos from my experience of meeting the MSI crew. :) take care!
