But most of the time, I'd love to shoot just a bit longer. Zach: Sometimes it’s nice to have a song limit, as I can just relax after the shoot and enjoy the show.

I thought it was just some personal rule you had or something. In the words of Chevelle, I Get It. Ah, I did not know that the bands were restricting you.

I don't know what that guy was talking about. Plus, I thought everyone knew about the first three shots rule. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great work! You are my idol! I think these shots are great.

After that, photography is not allowed. Flash is often not allowed, either. Some bands have different restrictions, some none at all. Personally, I'd love the option of photographing for an entire set from the pit, as the lighting and energy is often best at the end of a set. During the first three songs, bands are just getting warmed up, and lighting is often conservative compared with the effects to come. Hey Zach,

Why do you only shoot the first three songs? Although bands usually play big songs for the first three they tend to hold off on their really popular songs till the end, at least that's what I've experienced.

And I agree. Part of the reason for a deficit of images for bassist Dean Bernardini was his positioning and a general lack of light on him. For the most part, he played mid-stage or back near the amps, which left him lost in the shadows of the green and red washes. Overall, though the three band members made a big sound, their positioning and stage presence was a lot more confined during the first three songs. I'd love to see these guys with a tighter setup. Please feel free to continue with the analysis of the shots, I'd like to hear any more input you have on them, especially since you're a fan and you were at this gig. Hey Zach,

I would have liked to see some different images of Pete other than ones of him at the mic, he moved around the stage a bunch between the lyrics. Also, the singer and drummer got love, why not the bass? Don't get me wrong I love the images, but I was left a a little disappointed after looking at all of them. I can give you a more detailed analysis through email if you would like. Thanks for the awesome shots though, this concert was amazing!
