100 Monkeys @ Sundance!

100 Monkeys played at Sundance this year. Of course Tiffany and I jumped at the chance to go! They had a private show at the Fender Music Lounge over the weekend, and then on Wednesday the 25th, they opened for Third Eye Blind at the old Henry-O's on Main. I had my camera charged and ready to go, and we managed to talk the crowd of mostly guys in their mid-twenties, into letting us up to the stage for 100 Monkeys, with the promise that we'd move back as soon as they were done performing. Sadly, Jackson Rathbone wasn't there for the show. He had been with the rest of the band over the weekend, but he flew to L.A. for a movie premiere and didn't come back. I was so bummed. The one time we're right near the stage and I have my camera, and he's not there! Ugh!

But anyhow, I got these awesome pictures of the other members. For those of you whom don't know who these guys are, they're all actors, producers, composers, etc. They're amazing! Uncle Larry used to play for Ike and Tina Turner! :) Ben Graupner, and Ben Johnson also have another band, with a different guy, called "Mechanical People". My favorite Mechanical People song is "Alleycats". Great song. Look it up! ;)

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years already. I love you Jeff! You make me so happy!! :)

Amazing storm!

There was an amazing thunder storm on Sunday night. We had some pretty strong winds at our house, and when the lightning started, it was pretty crazy. There were several flashes all at once. The entire sky lit up, and as soon as the thunder started rumbling, another flash would hit. At first I was just sitting in my livingroom, with the curtains open, watching the show, and then after about 10 minutes I thought "What am I doing?! I should be out on the porch with my camera!" I've always wanted to get a picture of lightning, but that's not always easy. Sometimes it's gone too fast, or your camera is too slow. It took me a while to get my camera all figured out for night time, and get my tripod all set up, but this is the end result. I can't say I'm disappointed. :) I took several lightning shots, but since I wasn't actually looking through my camera, most were blurry or they didn't branch out like this one. This shot was almost perfect!

Feelin' the love!

I received an awesome compliment the other day from my friend Mandy. She's a dancer with the dance company Ballroom Utah.

So the other day, Mandy sent me a message and said that they have a performance coming up on July 16th and that the dancers would like me to come take pictures for the whole studio during the show. She told me that from all the pictures of their last show, everyone liked my pictures the best and would like me to take more! Talk about an ego boost!!

I'm going to try my hardest to attend, but since the boys will be in town, and I'm not sure of Tiffany's plans, (we always attend BRU shows together) I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it or not. Keep your fingers crossed!!
