This past Wednesday, New York electro/disco pop outfit Holy Ghost! performed at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. I ventured down to catch the show and, for the first time ever, photograph a concert. I've filmed shows before, but never photographed one. Lucky for me (i.e. uh oh) they didn't allow flash, so it was an experience. Thanks to a buddy of mine I had a great camera for the show, and I managed to get off a few decent shots, finally utilizing all that knowledge from those photography courses I took in college.
Holy Ghost! were spot on, and understandably so. Not only was their stop in D.C. Thanksgiving Eve, it also marked the final date on their nationwide tour. Live, the DJ duo of Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel is joined by four additional musicians. It's refreshing to see and hear a band recreate their electronic-based music live as opposed to just playing to backing tracks. Also, as it turns out, trying to photograph and pay close attention to the music proves to be rather tricky.
First time. No Flash. Just hope.
