Brief hiatus - back next week

I had good intentions to complete my HV2008 photo processing and uploading before this weekend when I'm photographer for a local music festival (and end up with even MORE pictures to process), but that didn't happen -- apologies. On the other hand, everyone else is doing a great job uploading theirs. Keep up the good work!



Back Sunday with more photos.



In the meantime, I challenge everyone to… Continue

Quest for the "Money Shot"

Heepventions and Heepsters rock in so many ways, but HV2008 was special for me from a photography perspective: prior to HV2008 I had never photographed Ken Hensley live in concert (Evening with Ken Hensley at MBP2004 was great but not really a live concert. No Hammond B3, for one.)

HV2008 Day 2: Revenge of the Flamenco Dancers

I suggested in an earlier blog post that the cancellation of the flamenco dance troupe Friday night was not much of a loss compared to the gain of an impromptu Hensley/Lawton/Kerslake acoustic set.



Somebody must have told the dance troupe, because they came and kicked some serious heepster butt with their performance on Saturday. Jaw-dropping awesome.



HLKND band was awesome too -… Continue

HV2008 Day 1: Flamenco Dancers vs. Hensley/Lawton/Kerslake

The flamenco dance troupe had to cancel, and we got an acoustic set of Hensley/Lawton/Kerslake instead. Nobody demanded a refund of their ticket money; wonder why.
