I know this a bit late, but to truly explain my experience at Rockfest 2007, I had to take a few days and absorb it all. Back before I got into live video and started working with Bill and everyone else, I had always been a fan of what you would call Arena Rock, including bands such as STYX, Def Leppard, Chicago, and many more. I had always thought it would be awesome just to see them in concert. Now I can say that I shot live video for them. That was the first major plus of this trip. The second being, I got to work with truly amazing people. I have been working with the same crew for the past three gigs. This time we had two new people and they were absolutely wonderful. Having never been on a gig in their lives, not knowing anything about the equipment, etc. They worked as hard as the rest of us…they came to learn and learn they did. By the end of Rockfest you could not tell the veterans and the new people apart. Stacy and Russ, you ROCK!!! All in all this has been my favorite gig that we have done this summer. We got to shoot awesome bands, some of the biggest in the world, and now the crew is closer than ever, and it shows in all aspects of our jobs. I am really looking forward to heading to Annapolis, MD for Blues by the Bay. Keep reading… it is only going to get better.

Ps. I wanted to include this picture, one because it is of me running camera for my beloved STYX, and also because my camera is live at the time this picture was taken and my shot can be seen in the upper left hand corner… enjoy!!
