Summer Heat lives up to its name!
Yesterday's game was incredibly hot! they said it was in the upper 90's but felt like 104. To me, it felt a whole lot hotter then that! Our heroes played to a tie in spite of the fact that they had no substitutes all game, and were short handed for the first half (two men down for a while). Goes to show you just have to want it, and as you can see, they certainly did. I was dying just standing there taking the pictures, I cannot imagine what they were feeling. Oh well, better to look good then to feel good!

Brooks Wood (Part 6)
...and this is the end of my post for the CD release party. The gentleman at the end might also be seen in reflection in the window behind the drummer in the previous image as he was dancing as if to save his life (or convince someone to give him beer money). I thought I would share him with you as well. Thanks to all the bands for a great evening and a fitting end to a really good day! You guys ROCKED!
Brooks Wood (Part 4) in Black and White!
so after a while the battery on my M8 started to wane, so I switched over to my Leica D-Lux4 (which is an awesome camera in its own right) and soldiered on (I did go home and get the battery ,by the way, which was why I was late to Jordan Lee's show). I was glad I had it, because it has a feature that let me shoot black and white and color images (one after the other) with one press of the shutter). I thought the black and white images were stunning, so I felt you had to see them as well. Shooting clubs in black and white is a classic photographic genre and looks timeless.
Brooks Wood (Part 1)
Then it was time for the Brooks Wood Band and the people rejoiced! They put on a good show and gave the audience all they could handle! of course most of the audience were already fans, and he place was packed, so the energy was through the roof! I ahd a great time and it was the capper to a really good day for me. Now I am gonna shut up and let you see the images!
Fullproof
Last night also saw the Brooks Wood Band's CD release party at the Pour House! Opening up for them was Fullproof and Jordan Lee. I was running a bit late, so only caught the end of Jordan Lee's set, but he seemed to be doing a good job with the crowd, and was well received. I spoke to one of my friends in Fullproof briefly (who also plays in Brooks Wood) and took some pictures of their set. I especially liked the playing of their lead guitar player and their overall energy! The had the crowd in a good place for the headliners and certainly could have finished the night off themselves!
Dinner at the Mellow Mushroom (1 of 4)
Last night I had dinner at the Mellow Mushroom an old friend from high school who happened to be in town, her family and some of her other friends from Raleigh. I knew some of them,other I did not. BY the end of the evening, it was like we were all old friends! the food was outstanding and the company was even better. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you like pizza, you owe to yourself to check it out!
On a photography note, I intended to bring my Leica D-Lux4 and use that at dinner, however, I wanted to make sure the battery was topped off and left the full battery in the charger at home (which I didn't remember until I was half-way there! So I decided instead of running home to get it and being late, that I would use my Leica M8, and the Voigtlander 15mm Heliar, set the aperture at F4.5, the focus at the hyperfocal distance, and viola, a point and shoot with depth of field from about 2.5 feet to infinity! (Duh, right?)
