Tracy Conover

Some nights are just magical. The right sound, the right place and the right lighting. Dan Electros provided all three the night Tracy Conover played. The were shooting a film so they had these big softbox lights up which made for ideal shooting. I probably could have stopped down my camera even farther than I did. Dan's is also just one of my favorite venues around, good people, good sound system, good atmosphere, but that's any given night there. This night was extra special though in that the quality of music was just mind boggling. Tracy puts on a show and plays a guitar like.. well. the metaphors elude me at the moment. Trust me though it's powerful. Top it off with some killer vocals and you spend an evening wondering what's wrong with radio that they put Avril Lavigne songs on every 10 minutes when people like Tracy Conover who have real talent aren't nearly as famous. Something is really wrong with commercial music that's for damned sure. But I digress.

As I said, shooting this was a dream. Except for that damned mic stand. One freaking mic on stage and it manages to steal the spotlight in half my shots. Other than that I had fun shooting this. I shot so much though that I haven't had time to even do post processing on hardly any of it.. so most of these posted here haven't been touched up at all. But hey what do you want for nothing eh?
