A million down to 48 ? QP/JTB show shots

Editing has always been hard for me... and yes, I know I need to revise my website to show less images, but for now I've gotten a gallery of 48 shots from QP tour down from what seems like a million, so I feel like i've made some progress. Any editors out there who want to help?

Such a tease !

So what should I do while sitting at the coffee shop for 3 hours while my photos upload to my website? Tease my blog readers with a peak at just a few cool shots from my QP tour series. While touring around I had some great opportunities to practice my crowd shooting and working with a different venue and audience each night. Tried to veer away from typical straight band shots that Ive seen and shot a million times, and in my opinion don't highlight the energy of the crowd or the mood of the show.

Walking off the night before- Baltimore, DC & Philly


Baltimore-DC-Philly in 3 days - Images by Erica Stavis

Yes....Im back from my weeklong stint on the east coast and have hundreds of great shots to sort through, edit and post. Followed Quintron & Miss Pussycat for about a week on there national tour. Got a great opportunity to capture the great spirit and crowd scenes at their shows...look for post with pics later this week.

On the flip side of night, I got a chance to walk around and explore 3 new cities, Baltimore, DC, & Philly. One day in each city is not enough time to capture everything but I did spend my days wandering around some cool neighborhoods for several hours each day. The architecture in these towns struck me...... row-houses galore. Check out the gallery of images on my site here

Check out some fun shots from Morning 40 performance last Saturday night at DBA....the crowd.....well.....amazing as usual. DBA definitely doesnt usually get that crazy, but M40 has some special powers, as is evidenced by the show at OEJ a few months ago.
