This summer I didn't get a chance to cover every night,but I enjoyed the nights that I was able to work. The meet & greets,the fireworks,watching everyone just having a great time. I love to watch people. I am a people watcher. “You shouldn't be so nosy” I have said to my husband more than once. I don't listen to conversations, I watch how people interact. A start of a laugh,a little girl teaching her baby sister how to do her ballet moves,an old couple holding hands as if they just started dating. Its the little things that sometimes people overlook or they just don't have time to notice. That's what I capture as an photographer. With my camera in hand I just see things a little differently than I would if I just looked at it. I have to slow down and stop to capture things. Even typing this out Its a reminder to myself to stop and smell the roses daily.

Ryan Miller of Guster^ said at one point I don't know if it's like this for all of you but I see the statue of liberty all the time. But this is awesome. "One of the coolest venues we have ever played"
The city museum is like "a playground for kids and stoners alike"
I love their humor off stage and on.
One of the best shows I have ever been too.
