"Do You Believe In Rock & Roll?"

The Glitter Boys sure do!!! I traveled to Mississippi this past weekend to see them play at the Bottling Company, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen! The lead guitarist, Chase, is the nephew of one of my good friends, and we were treated with a bit of backstage time, as well as after-show pictures with the band. Between 80's cover songs and their own originals, the concert was full of energy and fun. I could not resist the opportunity to capture a few photos while enjoying the music, and am pretty excited with the results. If you are interested in hearing the Glitter Boys music, check out their MySpace page! Now, on to the pictures...Enjoy!!

Below is Chase...he always has his hair standing straight up, but when it falls (after too much rockin' out) he has this awesome hat to put on!


As if an unplanned choreography...Chase put his hat on right as the band started playing Bon Jovi's Wanted (Dead or Alive)!!


Chase on the right, and the bass player on the left.


This is the lead singer, Sonny. It was his first live show with the band...he did a great job!


Jody is a JAM UP drummer, who can rock it out when it comes to Beastie Boys...he gets out from behind the drums and takes to the mic. 'You gotta fight...for your right...to PARTY! Aw, mom you're just jealous...'cos it's the GLITTER BOYS!!'


The other guitarist...he did an awesome job as well!


Chase rockin the red!


Yes, he plays the guitar behind his head, in the air, between his legs, and everywhere else!



We rocked these homemade groupie bracelets!

Peachtree International Triathlon

Can you swim 1 mile in a lake, bike 30 miles, and then run 6 miles all in less than 3 hours? I sure can't, but for the 446 participants on Saturday-that was the goal. Ranging in ages 19-69, guys and gals braved the 73 degree water, the monster hills, and tunnels that smelled like roadkill for the coveted title of "Triathlete." I am proud to call the triathlon winner my Uncle Mike, and the 20th place finisher my little brother (top in his age group and his first tri since he was 8). In an effort to continue learning all I can about sport photography, I brought my gear with me. While the pictures are here for you to see, you cannot truly understand the amount of energy, excitement, and adrenaline the day held. If you are interested in seeing a Triathlon first hand...check out the Rock N Roll Triathlon on May 30th at Lake Tobesofkee. Visit the website for more details. Uncle Mike will be competing in this one too! Now...on to the photos!

Relay for Life

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being the official photographer for Relay for Life, Baldwin County. I was the team captain for my school, but offered my services in order to capture some of the major moments. Relay was tons of fun this year! If you didn't make it, you missed out. Aside from lots of music, games, and homemade tasty treats, the purpose of R4L remains the we all were there. Finding a cure for cancer brings so many community members together all over the world, and we are so much closer to finding that cure with every dollar raised. The event started off with an Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids, followed by the survivor lap, the parade of teams, a singer/songwriter performance, the luminary remembrance ceremony, and so much more! Enjoy a few photos from the 2009 Baldwin County Relay for Life!
