this past week, or so, i found myself inside the fillmore-

now, this isn’t new at all- we know that i take pics for Ozomatli there, among some other people…

so yeah, i’m used to the location, the security, the camera rules (which they didn’t really enforce i have to say- i did use my flash at times *tisk*tisk* for the fillmore, and usually causes an uproar among security… but not this time… (and no huge crowd pushing on my back either)

i really didn’t want the flash anyhow.

they did, however, refuse to let me behind the curtain for a better vantage point from the stage, as is my habit, works well with one of my lenses… oh well… so i went on the balcony instead- i don’t argue with them about that anymore.

but, the location, the floor of the fillmore practicing yoga- It’s Wanderlust at The Fillmore sf- i didn’t practice, but just watching it was interesting- Shiva Rea did comment on the whiskey, i think it was,  “being just right there… odd…” i thought that was funny… and odd myself…

but overall people looked like they were having fun…

there was music and stuff afterwards, as is the way of wanderlust …

one of my all time favorite things to do is when ozomatli calls me out to take pictures of their shows at the fillmore, here in san francisco, every winter.  i don’t take pictures of bands all that often anymore, so that makes every time much more of an experience. i feel very greatful that i am able to do this…

keeps my work fresh

even if there is no photo pit and its packed…

glad i can do it…
