Sorry I haven't been updating!

I was fortunate to be hired to photograph a local rock & blues festival this past weekend and between it and the post-processing my free time has been consumed - not that I'm complaining. The music was phenomenal and I'm very pleased with how my photos turned out.

FYI, here was the lineup:

The photo above is of Bettye LaVette, who I'm ashamed I had not heard of before the festival but instantly became my favorite act. How she isn't more well-known is beyond me!

Here's the gallery into which I'm uploading photos:
