Recap Of Music Concert Photography 2011

Well to say the beginning of 2011 started off sour is an understatement. I was in New York City as the ball dropped. Not in time square but very close, and very sick. I assume it was something I ate, or the mix between the food and whatever I was drinking but I was sick nonetheless. The year could only get better from there right?

And the answer to that was yes! Not only did it get better but it changed completely I was still attended University of the Arts, were you question your insanity on a daily basis, but I started to do something I love on the side. Something that made me happy, made me go back to who I was in the beginning of high school, were I attended concerts almost every weekend. I missed those good old days. And I have Buzznet to thank for that. In February of 2011 I became a Buzznet photographer!

Great year full of great concerts! I got to see The Academy Is...'s last show & The Early November's reunion show, got to photograph Bamboozle and Warped tour, got to photography my favorite band 4 times, & got to meet some amazing people at these concerts. Hopefully 2012 will be full of just as many amazing shows that I get to photograph and I'll get to meet some more amazing people.
