A #throwbackthursday shot for you today; this one from 2007.
I first heard Shemekia Copeland, daughter of Texas bluesman Johnny Copeland, at the Lowell Folk Festival around 2005 and she blew us away! This image was made a few years later when she headlined at the Lowell Summer Music Series.
We’ve seen Roberto several times now and he never fails to impress.
The lighting in this venue contiues to vex me. I swear the color temp. changes with every shot. It’s basically a bar with a band setup at one end with two or three small spots. I think they have different bulbs in each one.
This is a very intimate venue. You can stand inches away from the talent on stage. I don’t often get this close as I feel it distracts the artist. This was taken during an encore and everyone was on their feet and crowding the stage — it was a great way to ring in 2016!
Well, here we go again. A new year and a new photo100 project. This year I’m going to try and be a bit more regular about it; ‘try’ being the operative word. 😉
