Shoot at events is always a bit stressful. It's even more stressful when it's an event for someone you know. You want to do your best job, but there are so many factors that influence that. With a packed house, it was nearly impossible to get a good angle of the stage from the floor and the stage didn't really have a pit for photographers. Luckily, I was able to use the loft to get most of the shots of the evening, even being able to leave my bag there when I wandered to the other locations. It did include walking up and down the stairs for every set, but that is part of doing this job. I got my steps in, that's for sure. By night's end, I knew I got a few good shots from each set and while it was definitely difficult conditions to work in, I was glad that the weight off my shoulders was lifted. I sat around as they wrapped up, sorting through the photos, smiling with each shot that nailed it. However, it was fun to peek down as they chatted with their fans, as you knew it was a successful night. The weight was also lifted from her shoulders. I said my goodbyes to those that I knew and some others that I had met that evening and walked away. I could sense the soreness in my body already, but it's a lot easier to bare when your spirits were uplifted.
