Energy and music
Met this pair of excellent drummer – dancer performers while trolling down the lovely Newburry Street (I know again) in Boston. You see I’ve always aspired to be a drummer but unfortunately my sense of rhythm is… some what lacking (to put it nicely). And I guess don’t even talk about dancing…
Oh well at least I know how to enjoy their performance :) Their energetic display was a perfect match for the beautiful Boston summer. It seems that they perform every Sunday at Newburry and Mass Ave. Be sure to check them out!
Celebration
You wouldn’t think I slacked off during the July 4th weekend right? Well, I almost did since there were constant drizzles here in St Louis over the Indepence Day weekend. Luckily, I charged ahead and went to the fireworks showing on Friday. Nothing an oversized umbrella and human shield can’t handle (to protect my gears of course).
The fireworks were spectacular, but the positioning of my camera was a bit off… You see I tried to get the fireworks and the Arch at an angle. Turned out I a bit too off to the side that I couldn’t get a clean shot of both of them! Lesson well learned though – research ahead! Nevertheless, I was still able to get these shots so I didn’t totally come back empty-handed :D
Bending light!
How can I name my site “Maestro Illuminist Photography” without showing off some command over light? Check this out – I can bend light!
Okay I was joking – this series of shots were taken at an overpass overlooking a sweeping corner of Forest Park Parkway. Getting these shots were a lot harder than you’d expect. This is St Louis, not LA after all, and waiting for steady streams of cars to come by was quite tedious. Nevertheless the results were well worth the wait! I hope you’d enjoy them :)
