Boston Garden

Home of the Celtics and the Bruins, and tonight... the Eagles.


Tonight after the show we're getting in vans and driving the 2 hours up to Uncasville, CT for an 8:00 am load in. It's going to be another night of not much sleep, with a full day of work ahead. From there we fly up to Moncton, New Brunswick, which is supposed to be cold and rainy. Awesome.

Three more shows and we go home!


Boston

After getting caught up on sleep yesterday, I went out on foot to try to capture this amazing city on camera. Tra suggested I go over by Beacon Hill, and she was right - it was perfect! Thanks Tra!








Next stop: Uncasville, CT

DC

After a quick flight out of Toronto, we arrived in DC at 5:20 and were at our hotel by 6:30.  

Our hotel is downtown, right in the middle of Capitol Hill, so the capitol building, Washington monument, senate building, etc are
 all within blocks.

Air Canada Centre

I'm hoping this blog will motivate me to take more photos, as I've been slacking lately.  It's almost as if the "better" I get at photography, the less photos I take.  I've gotten so picky about lighting conditions, and it's almost never the right condition, so my camera stays in my backpack.  But this blog should get me taking more daily shots - venues, hotels, airports, etc.  

Here's one from the venue we've been at the last 2 shows, and tonight for the last show at the Air Canada Centre.

And a shot for a Digidesign promo  :)

Toronto

Alright, first post on the new blog.  Thanks to Tra, Tricia and Angela for the motivation to do this!  Should've started this a couple years ago.  Better late than never I guess...

So I've been in Toronto for 3 days now, on the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden '08 World Tour.  After spending 2 hours in Flickr last night, I got motivated to go out and shoot whatever came across my path, with no real plan or objective.  I usually do have some big plan / goal when it comes to photography, so it was a nice change of pace.






Next stop, Washington DC.  Not sure I'll have any time for photography there, being that it'll be an 18 - 19 hour work day.  And besides, I got a lot of shots there last summer on the Goo Goo Dolls tour (walked around for like 8 hours in the sweltering heat, and don't really have any desire to do it ever again).  But then it's off to Boston for 4 days - one of my favorite cities, where I'll definitely lug my camera around on my day off.
