Outsider

(by The Daylights)

I guess everyone who won the All Access showed up. (sad face).  Oh well, I kind of figured that no one in their right mind would pass up an all expenses paid trip to Baltimore.  Anyways, I can't be too bummed over it, I'll still be at Free Fest this weekend and photographing Blink 182 for Alternative Press.  Tomorrow I'm headed to 6 Flags America to catch the MTV VMA tour with All Time Low and The White Tie Affair; 'should be a good time.

Oh, by the way you can check out some amazing photos of today's band, The Daylights, by the talented Steven Taylor.

One day this will make you proud

("Say Anything [Else]" by Cartel)

Cartel at Towson UniversityRemember when it was cool to open up your CD player while it was mid play to see it spin like a million miles any hour?  Picture that as my life.  'Been really busy.  Photographed Days Difference, Cartel, We The Kings, and All Time Low on Saturday, went tubing on the Potomac River on Sunday, photographed Stereo Skyline, The Bigger Lights, Friday Night Boys, This Providence, and Hey Monday on Monday, and then yesterday I spent the day at Warped Tour.  What does that all translate to? Something like 3,000 photos and little sleep. I love it.  Still working on photos. Here's a little sample.

Maybe it's not my weekend

...but it's going to be my year! (lyrics from "Weightless" by All Time Low)

My friend Cisco who used to play with Vanilla Sky sent me the link to the video from which today's title was selected.  I guess being in a band, he's probably shared in similar thoughts.  As a concert photographer, ergo a regular concert attendee, I always wondered what the bands and people around me were thinking.  I think this video confirms my suspicions.

Anyways, I'll actually be photographing All Time Low tonight at Towson University. 6 PM, $24.  If you're in the area, check em out with We The Kings, Cartel, and Days Difference
