Ron Paul @ CSUF

Ron Paul gave a decent talk at Titan Stadium on the campus of Cal State Fullerton. While he sputtered a bit and didn’t say anything I hadn’t heard before it was a decent talk attended by all sorts of people the GOP spends a lot of time alienating.

Disney California Adventures

Recently, as a family, we purchased annual passes to Disneyland. Having both worked at Disneyland (very briefly) and having been more times than one can care to remember it gets tedious to take a camera. Having a baby means I also take little time to setup or pose shots lest I incur his wrath.

So today when we opted to use our passes I figured if I had time I’d choose just one lens and see what happened. My choice of lens? The Lensbaby Composer with the Sweet 35 Optic. Difference of aperture, shutter speed and even HDR depending on the photos but only one very specific lens. I’m relatively happy with the results.

Kidneys & the Kyle Gass Band

JoeZilch — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:31:19 +0000

Several years ago I found myself driving to the OC Tavern in San Clemente, Ca in order to shoot the band the Kidneys, a band whose music I had never heard before that drive. I was going because I had always wanted to shoot Bad Religion and networking being what it is, it made sense to try and shoot the Kidneys being that Brooks Wackerman, drummer for BR, is the Kidneys’ frontman.

Since I didn’t want to impose on the band or press my luck, which is pretty much anathema to networking, I didn’t try to use my photos to pursue shots of Bad Religion. Instead my Bad Religion shots came thank to local Bluesman Lightnin’ Woodcock, which is another story altogether.

I enjoyed the Kidneys for who they themselves were in spite of my lack of networking prowess at the time and have had them on my to-see list again for since.

Skip ahead a few years to this week and again I found myself enjoying the Kidneys again after finding out that they were playing at a local bar a few hundred yards from my home in downtown Fullerton.

It was a great show which was made even better when I noticed that the Kyle Gass Band was headlining the show. For those who don’t know, Kyle Gass is KG from Tenacious D. I think a lot of people were expecting to see him covering a bunch of songs from The D but such was not the case. This, I thought, was awesome. As much as I’d like to see, and shoot, Tenacious D I was glad to hear great music that I hadn’t previously known.

All around, except for the opening band whom I missed and therefore cannot fairly comment upon, this was an awesome show.

12′ x 16′ Tech Rehearsal

Some time ago, back in February, I was allowed to shoot a tech rehearsal for the intimate show 12′ x 16′ put on by the Cal State Fullerton College of the Arts.

Christina set it up and Mr. Lett allowed it so I’d like to thank both of them as it was a nice photo experience.
