welcome back, wedding season. the time of the year when my feet hurt, my body is sore and i end up swimming in photos. it's all good right? we're making memories, here! :)
susan and muneeb were married alongside their closest family and friends at the eliot hotel in boston on saturday, april 17, 2010. i am now best friends with the valet parking dude at the eliot, who told me over and over again how he liked my smile. he complimented me enough times, where i'm pretty sure he's sitting outside my house now. stalker style. lol. back to the point, CONGRATS SUSAN AND MUNEEB! i can't wait to meet your little one. thank you for letting me share this day with you.

check out an upbeat slideshow from their evening below. feel free to dance as you watch. :)

some weeks, i feel like i live at the house of blues. last week was one of those weeks.
CORINNE BAILEY RAE
one of my favorite artists. i can't narrow it down to top 5. not even top 20. but she'll always make whatever list. i remember shopping in tower records back in '06 or '07 and the lady at the counter suggested i purchase the cd. andrew kendall, one of my favorite music photographers, had just finished posting her images from the cd shoot...so i bought it in support of his photography. and then fell in love with her music. i was all set up to photograph her gig at the paradise a few years back and something fell thru in the end. in short, i had the opportunity to photograph her show this time around and she didn't let us down. you go, corinne! :)

SAY ANYTHING
the folks over at the sony office, who had approved me for alicia keys back in march, asked me to cover say anything at the house of blues last tuesday. they were opening for angels and airwaves and whipped the crowd in to a frenzy. i swear i saw the barricade move. tons of crowd surfing and moshing (both forbidden at the HOB) - i don't know how the security staff does it. someone threw a condom. i ran into chad b. and dave g. at the show and saw the angels&airwaves set from up top. thanks, guys! shoutouts to VATER percussion. fam.

^ ^ what's up with that watermark? where's my logo. oh well. it'll do.
OK GO
so, i request shows that a.) i have the evening open for and b.) i kinda know a few songs of the band. i knew HERE IT GOES AGAIN and danced alone when they played it. :) i really thought their stage show was clever. a little bit of everything. they did some weird hand bell thing, jumped into the crowd, tossed out tambourines, had little webcams on the end of their mic stands and that fed up to the screen....it was cool. i dug it. the confetti is from the FIRST SONG. who shoots confetti at the beginning? they do and i love them for it.

the red sox/yankees game let out around the same time i left OK GO. fail. kenmore station was a mess, so i walked all the way up to hynes convention center and got on there. 4 cleveland circle, 2 out of servce and 2 boston college trains later, and i got on an empty D riverside train. headed outbound, the train picked up the massive amounts of fans leaving kenmore and fenway. there was yelling and one drunk girl fell and crawled around on the floor. she thought it was so funny, she did that silent laugh - followed by some miserable siren-pitched cry that lasted thru to beaconsfield. at this point, the train was emptying out, but the drunk section remained. i have to admit, as much as i was annoyed, i was amused...until....
one kid took it a little too far. you could pinpoint it in his eyes. the joke turned to rage in SECONDS. i stood my behind up and moved to the front of the train, as an all out brawl commenced. there were fists flying. blood. profanities. profanities en espanol. it involved too many people and it was going to out of control in moments. luckily, the train slowed and the doors opened at my stop. amen! the police came as i made my way out of there!
GO C'S!
good times. check out all the reviews/photos i've posted, because you care. and hey! leave a comment so i know you were there/here. i will repay you in gum. KMD

i'm swimming in an ocean of unedited, un-posted images. ugh.
last night, i powered thru some images, so my mind could rest and i could finish the wedding images from last saturday at some point this lifetime. these are from the last 3 shows. grammar doesn't count, right?
SOULIVE @ THE PARADISE ROCK CLUB
i'm not a fan of jam bands. i like music, but i like words. there are no words at a soulive show, unless they get a special guest to join them. no lie. I LOVE THIS BAND. amazing show. nigel hall was fire. a great dancing show. too bad i was alone and had a giant camera with me. otherwise i'd would have been 'getting down with the get down'. I love the end of the slideshow in the article - a little video clip of nigel hall's james brown split.

30 SECONDS TO MARS @ THE HOUSE OF BLUES
let's talk about jared leto, shall we? management emailed saying we could only shoot the first 3 songs from the soundboard and aisle. no pit. no problem. once we got there, security said we could shoot the whole show, no flash. no pit. no problem. so the photography posse stayed for most of the show, respecting the rules in place. towards the end, leto looked over...ran over starts screaming at me and my camera. i'm confused. thought i imagined it. moments later, he's got his hand on another photographer's lens, spraying his fury on him. ha! whatever dude. i just spent 2 hours sweating blood and tears at your show to get great images of your band and that's how you treat me (us)? this ain't hollywood. i'm no paparazzi. you're a douche. there, i said it. freedom of speech, son. he was a douche the whole show, really. but i actually enjoyed the gig. oh well.

a little leto rage? sure nuff. he was so mad. i couldn't figure out why. but i left and missed the end of the show.
SNOOP DOGG @ THE HOUSE OF BLUES
the following night was snoop dogg. last minute credentials granted. i mean, one-hour-before-showtime last minute. and i actually listen to snoop, so i packed my bag and headed for the train. why was snoop 90+ minutes late? scheduled to go on at 9:30...he took the stage after 11. kind of expected. but still annoying. good show though. you can't go wrong with the chronic 2001's NEXT EPISODE.

phew! portrait mayhem is over! it truly is mayhem! between scheduling, shooting and editing - it is insanity! but it's always fun. 20 minutes for $25. a treat for those not sure on going all out on a studio portrait session or those who just want a few great images. lots of families. some headshots. a band. and a puppy! thank you to everyone who came out last sunday. and a bigger thank you because everyone showed up ON TIME! all 9 groups! a big shoutout to my mother who came in to help set up. she even took one of the spots for herself. we laughed so hard. it was great. you'll see her pictures below. :)
