We had a spectacular sunrise this morning. However, I was too lazy to get a shot of it. Today’s photo is from last Friday morning when the fog was still lingering over town and the sun was about to rise in the southeast.

Buckle Rash @ Historic Ashland Armory (1/9/15)

@BuckleRash

Buckle Rash is playing at the Brickroom in Ashland this Wednesday night (1/14/15) beginning at 9:30 p.m. That’s about my bedtime so I’m not sure if I will make it with work the next morning and all, but check them out if you haven’t already. Great band.

100 Watt Mind @ Ashland Armory (January 9, 2015)

I have seen 100 Watt Mind at the Ashland Armory a couple times before. This show really blew the other ones away.

Patrimony @ Ashland Armory (1/9/15)

@LiveAtTheArmory @Patrimony1

As previously mentioned, there was a fabulous show at the Ashland Armory this past Friday night. I missed Boomrang Kids and the first half of the Patrimony set due to the SOU basketball games.

The Ashland Armory is a splendid venue these days thanks to the renovations and management of Live at the Armory. The crowd size for this event was perfect. There was space to move even with a fair amount of people. I’ve been to shows with too few people and too many people, but this one Goldilocks would have liked because it was “just right”.

Photos of Buckle Rash and 100 Watt Mind from this evening coming soon…

Some of you may have found your way here through the link on souraiders.com. I have had several people email me asking questions about buying prints or about finding all of my photos for a certain sport.

The photos I post here are a small fraction of the photos I actually have. If you would like to print any of the photos on this blog, you are welcome to do so at no charge.

I do not normally sell prints. I email you the high quality electronic files in .jpg format, and you can do the printing and framing yourself through a local or online service.
