we go hard

instead of shooting deer tick and jenny lewis last week, i got last minute tickets to see santigold off of craigslist. katie loves santi, so it was an anniversary gift. i also set myself up with a photo pass. it was a tough shoot--made me realize i'm out of practice shooting in venues with actual pits and time limits. it humbled me a little.

i don't really LOVE any of the shots, but they're acceptable. one thing that did make me realize that maybe i'm a little hard on myself is the following: i got an e-mail from amanda blank last night. it said that she and santi loved my photos, which was some really nice validation. we exchanged a couple of messages, talked a bit about the power of these here internets and how lady photographers understand how lady artists want to be portrayed by the big, bad media machine.

anyway, some more photos from the show: click!
