The trip has been fascinating! Each stop I have met new amazing people! Meeting new people all over California has been great. Running sound gear in all different venues has been interesting, lots of Mackie and Allen&Heath boards. We had one show that had 3000 people, and other shows that the venue could only hold a small handful.
It has been interesting.
Photography wise, It has been a trip. I have found that my camera is a conversation starter. People have asked me a lot of interesting questions about photography and traveling with bands. I wish i had better answers for them, since this is my first tour as a photographer (and sound guy). It has been cool taking photos of the concerts, and just seeing what I can come up with. There has been some very interesting venues! All of them have been churches for youth groups, or just all church events of some sort except one in a small stage in West Hollywood, and a really cool Irish pub in Huntington Beach. Huntington beach was the only opportunity we had to really see the Ocean.
Tomorrow is the last concert of the tour. It is in Salem, Oregon. Then I will be going back to normal life. I definitely need to start looking for photo shoots again.
First, I need a real job to pay the bills.
It will be nice to be back home in a nice relaxing environment. I am looking forward to getting behind the camera more often for portrait photography and what ever other gigs I can find. It has been fun traveling to places I had never imagined going before. I have met a ton of new people along the way, and it will be really cool to hopefully keep in contact with these people! It is 2:50am, I am really exhausted, and my computer battery is just about exhausted as well.
I am in Medford for the evening, and headed out to Salem tomorrow. I should probably get to sleep so i can wake up tomorrow, and enjoy the day!
Thank you, and God bless you!
Photo Details: This is Jackson, the Bass guitarist for Rootdown, in front of a Porsche that we found earlier today in Chico, California. It was pretty much the most fantastic car that I would ever dream about having!
