The good, and the bad and ugly

Shooting the Obama rally was “stressful” to say the least. I hope, for his sake, that his campaign is better run and staffed than what I saw. It was a wonderful opportunity to shoot a presidential candidate’s rally and really brought home how needlessly difficult my job can be sometimes. I’ll stick to the local folks thank you.

So what was the “bad and ugly” part. The good part, my long-time friend Michael Manring was in Reading playing his almost annual gig at the Berks County Jazz Festival last night. Seeing Michael is always wonderful and hearing him play, always inspiring. For more notes on this show visit the set page here:

In the meantime, here are some of my favorites…

So the local Reading television station visited the soundcheck to do the weather over the top of Michael and David playing and pump the show (and the festival) a bit. Here’s a couple of views of that.
