hello everyone!!!!
well. things have been interesting on the photo front. i did not pick up my camera once in february, i am sad to say. not even my point and shoot!!! but i feel that i am back.
i recently teemed up with KriSeLen.com and Avoid Peril as a freelance photographer. this is big news, i cant believe i forgot to post it here! at least my manager put it on her myspace. :]
anyhow - i had my first shoot for kriSeLen.com this past weekend. i shot angels and airwaves (and their main support act meg & dia) at the wiltern here in los angeles. i'll be honest with you, i was nervous! i have not shot a concert since....jonnenie zapata at the wiltern in summer 06. but the moment i got down in that photo pit and warmed up shooting meg & dia...it kicked in. every click of the shutter made me feel more and more connected to myself. i had kind of put live photography aside for a few years and i have no idea why. it felt GREAT to shoot a show. it was like finding myself. shooting angels and airwaves was SO MUCH FUN and i was so grateful for the opportunity. the energy that bounced around in that room full of screaming fans energized me to try and chase tom around the stage with full force strobes and catch a magic moment.
ive rambled there, but this was a big deal for me. i hope to be shooting a lot more shows. its my foundation. what got me into photography in the first place. i adore doing shoots and working with people....i would never give that up. but im going to be throwing concerts into the mix. and i wont ramble about it as much ever again, dont worry. it had just been awhile :]
angels and airwaves and meg & dia galleries now exist and i'd love to hear any feedback :] ALSO, more photos (DIFFERENT photos!) of angels and airwaves will appear on http://www.kriselen.com/ in the future. ill keep you posted!
also added one new photo to the bird project. can you find it? its quite possibly my favorite photo. i blew it up to a 16x20 and hung it over my bed. i took it in january on a random rainy weekday. i may have even been listening to every day is like sunday.
erin russell and her photography are traveling to argentina and chile (including cape horn and the beagle channel!) for a magallenic adventure this april...just a few weeks from now. get ready for a SLEW of photos as i dive head first into a spanish speaking adventure.
can you tell im in a good mood? :]
con amore siempre,
erin
