Shot Vfest in Baltimore last Sunday, my twelve year old asked for extra shots of Hayley Williams of Paramore. Black/white shirt with the dark background and her very white skin really had her almost orange hair really standing out. I've got others: STP, Lil Wayne, Iggy etc. that I will try to post later if there's any interest. There is a slideshow with the first edit .... Link at the bottom of this post
Tom,
Great stuff ! What a line up. My 18 year old would have loved it. Dylan, Iggy, and the Black Keys on the same day. Very cool. Only thing missing on the slide show is some music.
Thanks all for checking in, was a really good show, much more "corporate" than the Warped Tour and Bamboozle as it had large VIP sections cut into the general admission areas, VIP tents and photo restrictions on the biggest acts. No photos were allowed of Dylan, Kanye West or NIN on day two. The girl in the slideshow is Ninja of The GO! Team.

Were there time restrictions on the acts you were able to shoot ?
Oh Yeah, security guys had it as the last note of the second song was hit you were "removed" I've always had at least three songs and out and even then you could sort of shoot as you were leaving, but here it was much more strict. Tough trying to get what you wanted in two songs. It usually takes me half the first song just to figure out the band and where I want to be, then you're sort of forced to stay on the one person of your choice to make sure you get something decent before moving on the the other members. Either that you're rapid fire at everyone and you're likely missing good stuff. Either way it was a cool shoot. My fifteen year old went with me, not with a photo pass but in the mix, text'd me from the crowd ..." standing next to the guy with the yellow hat" yeah right ... but I got lucky and found him ... goofy kid, but the day was a bonding moment, lots of laughs. http://www.tomspaderphotography.com/kid1.jpg
