Katy Perry, Dubai

For the past several months I have been doing some tour management work for Katy Perry. Having the opportunity to see Katy on stage - makes me appreciate her musical talent, sense of humor and overall artistry. 

A few weeks ago we traveled to Dubai for one last show in 2012. The event was the closing ceremony for the World Parachute Championships with the concert being held on the Meydan Racetrack just outside the city. Of course Katy came up with an interesting way to start the show - arriving on stage using a parachute!!!

 Stay tuned for more images from Dubai....

Viennese Waltz - Dancing with the Stars

The Viennese Waltz, Dancing with the Stars

One of the my favorite moments in the Dancing with the Stars show at The New Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas is the Viennese Waltz with Ryan Di Lello and Iveta Lukosiute. This particular Waltz starts out in extremely low light which makes if very frustrating trying to make a photographic image. Add that to the light being dappled, and well, there were obstacles to overcome. I have photographed this dance approximately 20 times now, and, the image posted today is the first one that truly captured how I feel when watching Ryan and Iveta dance.

There are a few other magical moments in this Waltz but you will really need to be there to enjoy those moments - can't give too much away....

Dancing with the Stars will be at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas through July 7th....

The image was post processed using NIK software, Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6.


PS: This is not an HDR image. It is a single exposure.

Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum, Nokia Theater,  New York City

Busy couple of days here in Indiana. Yesterday met my good friends Barbara and Michael so we could hang the Next Step gallery show that opens this Friday at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery in Carmel Indiana. The opening is scheduled for 6PM - 10PM - come on down.

 Most of my other time is being spent organizing the Music and iPhone presentation scheduled for  Saturday, May 21 at the Apple Store at Keystone Crossing, Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the first one and my plans are to make this presentation at Apple locations across the country in the next few months. 

Today's image is Lady Antebellum who I was able to catch at their Nokia Theater (now Best Buy Theater) show last year in New York City.
