Lowell has been running a summer music series for the past few years.  We made it to a show last year and last night was the first one we are going to in 2008.  This is Brandi Carlile and she put on a awesome show last night.  After doing her full set with the band she came back to sing for another 25 minutes of whatever came to mind.  Hopefully I can find a recording of the show last night...

See more photos from the show here.

Maybe this is a return to daily photos?

Inspired by Ratatat, a band that was featured on a recent All Songs Considered episode.  All Songs Considered is a program that airs on NPR and has recently become one of my favorites.

Ratatat is a duo from New York that creates electro-rock.  Take a listen to a track from their upcoming CD, Lp3.

I am going to make changes to my self imposed rules.  Several times now I have taken photos, but been too busy (or away from a computer) and as a result, not uploaded a daily photo.  I am now going to allow myself to back fill as long as the day being filled in, is the same day the photo was taken.  It was in hindsight silly to impose an upload rule on myself.

So, look for missing days to be filled soon.

The little lonely violin.  Not played for months it sits in its case, even there gathering dust.

So we just got home from seeing Esperanza Spalding at the Regattabar in Cambridge.  She was amazing.  Esperanza graduated from Berkley a year sooner than usual and at 20 became the youngest instructor ever at the school.  This was her cd release party and if you like Jazz, I recommend you give her a listen on iTunes or at her website  http://www.esperanzaspalding.com/  Ponta de Areia and Precious are two of my favorites.

Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera, but I saw two people there with SLRs so I will remember for the next time I am at that venue.

It was a struggle tonight to get a shot that I liked.  I have some ideas, but they are setup shots and I need the time to take them.

...as I'm sitting here, doing nothing but aging.
Still, my guitar gently weeps...

I tried this shot with and without the hands.  With the hands is far more compelling and greatly helps to balance the fact that almost everything else in the scene is on the gray scale.  The picture was taken at 10mm for the distortion effect which i actually hoped there to be more of.

P.S. triggering the shutter with your foot isn't the easiest thing to do...
