The nice thing about volleyball photography is you don’t have to change seats to change your view as the teams switch sides after each game.

I have mentioned before how bad the lighting can be at the Historic Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass. I wasn’t even going to take photos at last night’s Floater show if the lighting was no different. However, a Eugene company was hired by Floater to liven things up a bit, and they did a fantastic job. More photos soon…

Before the dawn

Ashland has had a change in weather over the past few days. This is not so good for those of us who like the warmer temperatures, but it is great for photography with the crazy clouds, different lighting, and unpredictable colors that come with. I took today’s photo before the sunrise when the sky was going bonkers for a few minutes.

Witch Cult @ Musichead

Last month Musichead had their “First Annual Metalfest.” Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. The band I really wanted to see at Metalfest was Witch Cult from Ashland. Black Metal in Ashland? Seemed hard to believe so I was excited to see that they were playing again. This time (September 4, 2012) they opened for some Portland bands.

I arrived a little late, in part because the shows never start on time in Medford. If Witch Cult started late it wasn’t very much after the 7 p.m. start time. I don’t think I missed more than one song. As I entered they were blasting through a familiar tune, some old Sepultura, written long before the Witch Cult members were born.

Witch Cult is as close to the Norwegian black metal bands as you can get, including corpse paint and names like Lillith, Destruidor Louco, Blaspherion Necrokult, and Kadath. With Witch Cult so close to home I won’t need to head to Norway for my black metal fix again anytime soon. 😉

The Blank Notes @ Britt Festivals

Britt Festivals in Jacksonville, Oregon added a new stage last year called the Table Rock City Stage. Usually a local act plays on it from the time the gates open until about 15 minutes before the main performers play on the main stage. This past Friday night a Jacksonville, all-girls band of 13-year olds called The Blank Notes played before The Barr Brothers and Brandi Carlile. My friend who I was with was their music teacher in the Jacksonville School District for many years before they went into middle school so she was very proud and for good reason.
