I couldn’t decide which group shot was my favorite so you get two!
This next one is kind of artsy and neat. I love it.
Which one is your favorite? I hope you enjoyed my sneak preview of my FB4K photos! Have a great weekend! :):):)

FB4K – Matt
Finally, the last band member of the Firebird 4000 Project is Matt, who is the drummer! I love that Matt’s drums are all shiny and in focus in this picture. :)
One more day of fun sneak previews! Check back tomorrow!!!!
FB4K – Jake
Next up in the ongoing sneak preview of the Firebird 4000 Project is Jake! He does the main vocals and the rhythm guitar and he was rockin’! Plus he let us have some of their pizza after the show so that was awesome too. :)
More tomorrow!!!!
FB4K – Jill
Starting off my sneak peek of fun pictures from the Firebird 4000 Project show is their basist, Jill (who also plays the lead guitar, keys, and backup vocals)! She’s totally badass and awesome, both at bass and in general. :)
Tune back in tomorrow for more! :D
Portrait: The beginning
This weekend, I had the pleasure of getting to be an event photographer. It was one of the most fun things I have done in a long time and I was totally not expecting it. Here’s what happened (in a nutshell): My friend Matt (shown here) is in a band called The Firebird 4000 Project and I went to go see their recent show. I brought along the Nikon D80 just because I thought that a concert venue might be fun to photograph. Then when I got there, The Firebird 4000 Project got really excited and told me to go ahead and photograph the entire show! It was fun. It was a really good experience I think because it showed me how much I have grown as a photographer. I was comfortable with my camera, whirling dials, pressing buttons, and even changing lenses mid-show. I was purely focusing on how to make whatever shot the best it could be. How should I frame this? Where should my subject be? What should be in focus? How much depth of field should I have? I ran all around the band trying to get some group shots and individual shots of each of the members. And I took over 100 pictures… I can’t wait to play event photographer again (whenever that is…)
You’re probably thinking to yourself right now that this picture up there looks more like a portrait than a picture from a concert and you are right. This is pre-show. But tomorrow is when the real fun begins…
