The Ultra End

26 Apr

Since I have been working my tush off, I had no time this weekend to actually explore and play and get a chance to be creative with my camera. So I saved this post for days like this… when I had waited to long to update my blog and this was the only option. Although, I will admit it is not a bad one :)

So here, on this blog, on this day, I am posting the final edited photos from that wonderful, fistpump, of a weekend.. aka ULTRA Music Festival.

Booooooom!

Hula Hooping Under the Moon

13 Apr

I know I put this quote on my blog some time ago, but I just love it (and try to live by it) so I had to put it again:

“We must strive to be like the moon.’ An old man in Kabati repeated this sentence often… the adage served to remind people to always be on their best behavior and to be good to others. [S]he said that people complain when there is too much sun and it gets unbearably hot, and also when it rains too much or when it is cold. But, no one grumbles when the moon shines. Everyone becomes happy and appreciates the moon in their own special way. Children watch their shadows and play in its light, people gather at the square to tell stories and dance through the night. A lot of happy things happen when the moon shines. These are some of the reasons why we should want to be like the moon.”
— Ishmael Beah

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago at the drum circle, the night of the huge huge moon!

Ultra Empire

4 Apr

 

Im sure you can tell by the title of the blog post that the above photo is one of my favorites from last weekend at Ultra… The whole reason I was so excited for Saturday at Ultra was EMPIRE OF THE SUN!

This has to be one of my greatest moments; when the lead singer (Luke Steel of Sleepy Jackson) looks over at me (and yes I have a shot of him looking straight at the camera) plays his way over to the front and center of the stage, and rocked out on his guitar for a hot-minute. Hence, this image was captured…
