Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve put much of anything on this blog of mine, so what better way to get back into the habit than to share a few of my photos of Godsmack and Volbeat tearing up Rogers Place last night?
Before we get to that, despite my obvious neglect to this piece of my portfolio, I’ve been rather busy with shooting an array of shows, and with that said, I figured it’s time to address the silent month that this part of my website had to endure. I won’t lie, it’s been a case of not having enough time on my hands to upload galleries (you avid shooters will feel me on that one) and just a plain lack of confidence and motivation recently. My confidence in the shots I’m producing lately has been quite weak, and that’s something that always seems to get the best of me. I try to not be too hard on myself when it comes to the work I put out there, but it seems to be an inevitable thing for me, at least until I can put out a gallery that helps rebuild my confidence in my abilities. With the snow melting away at last, and spring time around the corner, my mental health is on the rise and I’m finding myself not wanting to be glued to my computer screen as much, and I really think that is something you can’t blame me for, living in Canada and all. So will you see those few galleries from the month of April? Maybe. Maybe not. (this is where following me on Instagram is cool, I tend to share my favourites and a few current thoughts on there more often than my rinky dinky blog.)
But, I digress, contrary to the previous statement, I’ve managed to shoot a gallery that I’m actually quite pleased with, and was very excited to get the green light for. It’s always a pleasure shooting high-energy rock and metal bands in venues like Rogers Place. The productions these bands bring in always gets me excited, and motivates me to work harder than usual to get stellar shots. Godsmack and Volbeat both crushed their set’s in Edmonton, and I’m looking very forward to having both of these bands in front of my lens once again.
