Having a blog is not only to talk about the “it” topic.  It’s not only about accumulating the most traffic.  Nor is it just to get free perks.

Most bloggers do it for the exhibitionism factor.  They feel they have to show something to the world, whether the world wants to see it or not.  Even if it means that some people I know will read it.  Even if it means that the person who might have triggered that state of mind will read it…

Ok, for those who didn’t know, I’m a photographer.  Not the “it’s-my-job-and-I-make-a-living-out-of-it” photographer, but a decent one with an extensive portfolio.  I love helping out other artists, be it music bands or fashion designers, and I barely ever charge a monetary compensation.  Just for the love of art.

Now enter the band called Copeland (web site here).  This is a band I discovered in 2004 when I was starting to do concert photography and I fell in love with their music.  You can see photos of that first concert here.   Then, about 2 and a half years ago (March 2007 to be exact), they came again to do a concert with another band and I took that opportunity to resume my photography career, which I had been put on hold with the birth of my son. You can view the results here.
