Alberta Cross 1/25/2010

There is a recurring theme to this blog. I am cursed with bad lighting EVERYWHERE. Once I get my backlog up though, it will be shown that its not that I had bad luck at the Bottleneck in Lawrence, KS – its perpetually bad. Its a good thing sound isn’t based on lighting though… because both Hacienda and Alberta Cross played tremendous sets last night. And I feel pretty terrible, I didn’t get any photos of Hacienda. However, I did manage to get a couple out of the hundred or so shots snapped of Alberta Cross…

Also of note, related but random, the Lollapalooza Forum members ranked Alberta Cross’ Broken Side of Time in their top 100 albums of 2009, coming in at #37. Very cool, considering they beat out several heavy-hitters like Green Day (21st Century Breakdown – #53), Pearl Jam (Backspacer – #54), and Muse (The Resistance – #140)… (as well as a lot of lesser-knowns!)

Happy New Year from Punkfrog Productions!

A new year started me off with a new camera :) (Thanks Mom and Dad! Completely unexpected, but more than welcomed. I’m now shooting with a Nikon D5000 and its 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR kit lens.) Oh Auntie Mae’s Parlor, how I missed you and your odd lighting. I’m always up for a good challenge though, and with the D5000′s ability to handle lower light with less noise, I was super excited to try it out.

Needless to say, my ears were ringing by the end of the set. Good times, regardless!
