Live At The Castle

Bizarrely having recently gone global with my new website www.adamrbrownphoto.com, nice plug there, only last week email correspondence took place with Global Media which resulted in me shooting Live At The Castle, a mini festival in the grounds of Leeds Castle near Maidstone in Kent.

Despite harrowing conditions and some questionable event planning I think it went well and i'm pleased with the results! I also got to photograph The Wanted which, as far as I know, makes at least 60% of the population jealous of me. Apparently.

Just days before I found myself at Somerset House shooting Oasis spin-off Beady Eye. When I was still dreaming of being able to photograph bands of any level I thought to myself that all I wanted was to one day photograph Oasis. Obviously that's not gonna happen any time soon, if at all, but when I was standing there with Liam Gallagher just feet away from me and a camera in my hand I couldn't help but wonder how this had all happened. Here's hoping it continues for many years to come!

Also i've made a new background collage thing for my Twitter page which I am perilously close to 1000 followers. So if you want to get more updates than my terrible ones on here, head over to twitter and follow me @adamrbrownphoto

KT & Slow Club

Despite hoping to get back into this whole photography lark big time I have, for whatever reason, just not managed it. I don't think there has been a time, since I first picked up a camera, where I have shot so little. (Technically that's not true as I can shoot hundreds of frames of some bands, but you know what I mean).

There used to be a time when I could go anywhere with my camera and come back with a nice selection of pictures which i'd look at, be pleased with, show my family and some friends and put them on flickr. But now, it's all changed. It's not that I couldn't take the pictures, i'm not lacking inspiration particularly. I just seem to be finding it easy to ignore. I never thought i'd say "that'd make a good picture" but have no intention of shooting it.

I don't want to sound, well, I don't know really but what i'm thinking is that with the more serious I have taken photography and the more i've tried to push it into becoming my career, the more i've become worried about what I post.

I can shoot a band at 9pm and have a good selection edited before bed but rather than post them straight away I seem to dwell on them and the thing that bothers me is that I don't really know why i'm doing it.

Anyway...

I took some pictures the other day, it'd be nice if some people looked at them. I only saw 3 songs of KT Tunstall but I was not offended by what I heard (that may not sound like a compliment but it really is, doubt it'll make it onto a poster for her album though). Slow Club were...I don't even know. Amazing? Possibly. I would definitely see them again, I would probably consider paying as well (yep, really) and you don't get much of a higher accolade than that, not from me anyway!

Anyway (Part ii)...

Teenage Fanclub & Veronica Falls

I'm really starting to slack with this but I think that's because I have given myself so many things to update (don't worry, i'll remind you of them all at the end of this post).

So anyway Tuesday night I went to shoot Teenage Fanclub and as I was there early I thought I may as well shoot their support band Veronica Falls! It's the first time i've done a support band as well, I usually only just make it for the main band, but i'm hoping this habit will continue as you never know where things will lead.

That's about all I have to say for now but before I go i'll link you up with all my other exciting pages (as promised) which are spread delightfully over various parts of this internet thing.

Twitter - Facebook - Website - Flickr

Enjoy!

Metric

It's been so long but I still don't really have anything to say so i'll just post a couple of shots from last night and leave it at that!

As is often the case there are more to be seen if you so wish...in which case you should go to my Facebook page (which you and your friends, hint hint, can 'Like'), my flickr or my website.

Thanks for looking. Hopefully won't be another month before I post again! Adios!
