Some Favorites from 2009

2009 was a great year for weddings! Here are some of my favorites.

open mic night

I've been trying to find a good way to take discreet pictures without the flash in dark indoor areas. It seems like if I crank the ISO way up and shoot in black and white, I can get some cool looking shots. The graininess doesn't even bug me. I took these shots at Rider Inn in Painesville. My favorite part was definitely when this group of guys formed a makeshift bluegrass band a played a few songs. I especially liked this clawhammer banjo player. He looked like he belonged down south about 50 years ago.

For some reason when I loaded them on my computer, they changed from black and white to color. I don't know why, but I'm kind of glad they did. Here they are!

this guy was really good at bass, and joined the band 5 minutes before they played.

if you could of heard what he played, you would know why i took this shot.

i always forget how good she is.

i definitely enjoyed this kid. and he played a larivee, so i didn't have much to complain about.
