"Look around, this ain't what ordinary gets ya!" - Jay Z

The Jill Scott/Maxwell Tour rolled into STL this evening (5.29.10). I was fortunate enough to be granted a media pass for tonight thanks to the referral of another photographer, Mr. Lawrence Bryant. As the only photographer there tonight. I was able to really get some exclusive shots. Please just view please do not copy or reproduce without consent. I certainly enjoyed this opportunity. People looked amazed at the equipment, it was pretty funny...after all, I did have to shoot Jill with the Hubble Space Telescope (300mm 2.8). I was inside the concert a entire total of 15 minutes of showtime. I got to shoot the first 2 songs by Jill Scott (from the soundboard) and the second song only for Maxwell. Don't even remember the name of the song he sang second, but the first song would have made the dopest shots. Oh well, here's a few samples, ENJOY!

iReporter Photojouralism

After the suggestion by local photographer, Wes Allmond, today, I decided to signup as a iReporter with CNN's website and take a stab at photojournalism with my camera. So now, when things that are like "national" big happen in STL, I'd have a shot to get down there and get exclusive shots that have the potential to be used On Air. Although these types of things can get quite dangerous if you're thinking about it like I am...lol, I look forward to the chance to at least try this. I really don't like to back away from a challenge. If anything, if CNN will grab my photo and use it on the air, I'd get credit for it! Let's see how this goes!
