So my good friends Zar and Geo started DontGetEmo Concerts 4 years ago. I actually remember their first show, it was Terminal at the VFW. I guess you could say they've come a long way from having small 100 to 200 kid shows at the VFW to now having some of the biggest concerts the Rio Grande Valley has ever seen. Their 4th birthday was celebrated with having Forever The Sickest Kids, The Rocket Summer, Sing It Loud, Breathe Carolina, My Favorite Highway, Cash Cash, Stephen Jerzak, Artist vs Poet and Fight Fair....
sorry it took so long but I had actually posted them but just hadn't put a blog up.
So one of my all time favorite DJs came into town. Interesting as it is, I was not allowed to take my camera in to shoot the event. I was notified that there would be no SLR cameras allowed, but funny thing was there were about 8 people there with them. I guess they didn't get the same memo I did or something. Regardless I don't ever let anyone keep me from documenting the events in my life, so I went old school and took out a slightly modified "disposable camera". I had so much fun just snapping pictures around that I think I might have to start doing it more often, maybe start using my old film camera or something...but I might need to get a better film scanner.
here are the shots, nothing special but I like them.
The other night I shot for ReadySetRave at their party at Jagz. It was a lot of fun and the music was great as always. My usual routine after shooting a party is to find some people to go out and eat with and wind down, then go home for a good sleep. Well the same happened except that this time while driving home at 8am I saw this on the side of the road and had to stop and take a few pictures....
So our friend Katie Vegas and Vik both had their birthdays this week and we all decided a themed party would be a great idea to celebrate. The DGE House was nice enough to host their invite only Vegas themed party....for all those that were there, I'm sure everyone could say it was a good time.
Last nights show could be described as being "beautiful" or "amazing". I was so impressed with everyone that decided to come out and show these bands some love. It was nice getting to see a lot of old faces that I hadn't seen in some time....
