Closer to home, our staff did get invited to the kickoff of the Paulsko Summer of '10 tour- since we had the time... Why not? It doesn't all have to be sweaty athletes here in FF land.
By now you are wondering- How is he going to tie Paulsko in with that swing-style Jimmy Buffet song? Let it play, and enjoy the ride....
The tour opened at Senunas'- the home field for the duo. (Down a secondary road that severely shows its age.. have you driven in Wilkes-Barre lately? Its enough to crack your expensive rims...) They don't play grunge and they don't play loud- Its the magic of the music that still draws a crowd. Promotion is minimal for an event like this- Live Nation doesn't notice the show at all. Still- The faithful get the message like its written on the breeze. Young folks, old folks (Sorry Mrs R.!!!) bout to cut a rug... As the performance goes on, the boys in the band put them right in the mood. And of course, by the time the number ended, they were dancin' in the streets.
Not too shabby eh?- almost a mashup of some old-guy music with the legendary Paulsko.
Since this was the first time shooting this kind of event, there are naturally some things to be learned-
One of the "rules" of photography is that it rarely looks good to shoot someone so you can see up their nose. Hard to argue that.
Another lesson learned- not all of the facial expressions are flattering. At least his eyes were open for that one.
It's hard to match the unbridled joy that comes from gummy bears.
Alright fans- Enough of this blabbering- Notice that the gallery linked below is a low-price, steal as much as you want set-up. The first taste, after all, should be free. It would be good karma for you to mention where you got the photos if you pirate them- www.FotoFink.net. Hopefully, the band will invite us back when its time to shoot the album cover.
Paulsko!

Enjoy!
