Well, at least you’ll know how it works for the next time you need it! 🙂

But yes, unless the text in the layer remains editable… ie, hasn’t been “flattened” then just replacing it would be the way to go.

They were great at Boogieman last year. Was my first experience with them, and a standout among a lineup of really great performers.

Sorry to have missed this one. A long time favorite of mine. I bet it was a real blast. Claypool is in a class of his own.

The main competition table was setup with multiple identical laptops provided by one of the sponsors, a company that builds workstations.

There was definitely a LAN Party vibe to it. The first few rounds, folks were pretty relaxed but by the end as the stakes got higher and people were being eliminated you could see that people were starting to get a little anxious. The prize was a cool $5K plus extras so when it came down the wire the feel of “competition” became more evident.

At the end, when the winner was announced, the 2nd place guy was very gracious… and no one exhibited anything negative at all.

There was a sort of ‘sports’ feel going on as well… which continued through the interviewing of the winner at the end.

Really fun event and a mind blowing studio space.

God at a Festival took like 2 listens to grow on me.

“Attaching a mic is probably going to change the game in that case”

Yeah, I expect so. Hoping to get my Son to let me do a recording of him doing one of his originals soon – that might be my first try with the nicer microphone.

My website is getting some attention after this show – not blowing up exactly, but more traffic than usual by a margin. My semi-accurate estimate is about 30-40 viewers a day since Sat. Each person is actually looking at almost all of the photos tho’… most of the time people only scan the gallery kinda quick and only actually open a few photos, so that is in a way a pretty big difference.

Was a fuckin’ excellent show. Gonna be hard to top that experience anytime soon.

I hadn’t thought about a mix from the soundboard but I might hit up the sound guy at PoHo… that’s a great idea. Syncing the video and the sound “should” be fairly easy. I’ve done this before on a different type of project.

I DID buy a high end mic that attaches to my camera! The camera itself has pretty good audio capability in regard to the format/bit-rate -and while the stero mics are impressive for something built in, having an external pro-level mic is obviously preferred. It’s sitting in my camera bag… will break it out for the next show I shoot!

People at the PoHo have the link to my website – I have to assume they’re aware of the videos. 🙂

I sent along links to Kev’, John, Frasco, etc… I “think” they’ve seen the video but I can’t be sure.

MAY 21st at the Charleston Pour House we’ll see the return of the American psychobilly trio, Rev. Horton heat. I got to photograph them back in October of 2019. You can see me experimenting with the ever popular for concert photography ‘Star filter’ in these. Done right it’s fantastic… overdone, it’s corny. I may have baked some of these too long… but hey, all in good fun.

A great show by some very remarkably talented and experienced musicians. Worth it in the spades to see Mr. Heath play the hell out of his guitar!!

I’m signed up to shoot that night, so if you make it out, say hi !!

Diggin/ up some gold.

I was fortunate to be able to photograph Maggie Koerner at the Charleston Pourhouse back in 2019, when she opened, for another favorite, Tank and the Bangas. Recently, I’ve been going back through shoots I’ve done in the past, and attempting to apply new methods of editing to my images… as both my ability and the software has improved over the years, allowing me to get ‘more’ from even those older images.

I’ll add the link for that at the bottom if you care to poke around… but definitely check out Maggie’s work. Her originals are really good and she nails down a few cover tunes as well. If you ever get the chance to see her live, don’t pass it up, she absolutely kills the stage show.

Her song, “Love Drug” (FF to 4:30) is probably my fave from this session, but for sure it’s all excellent. Get your face melted!

Right on. Well done. 🙂
