Just one preview of Paper Route’s J.T. Daly rocking the mic in the band’s performance in support of Paramore’s 2009 brand new eyes tour. For me, Daly was a great subject and easily a standout for Paper Route with plenty of action at the front of the stage to engage the crowd.
I made this shot with the Nikon D3 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8. The exposure was ISO 1600 at f/2.8 and 1/125.
Lots of dynamic lighting, while tricky, made Paper Route’s performance a nice challenge and a great warm up for the evening. Stay tuned for the full set for Paper Route as well as the live music photos from Paramore, coming up.

Very nice, couldn’t make it to last nights show but I have seen tbem open for Jack’s Mannquin, back last August, maybe you even shot the show, on a side note when will you have FTSK pics up ?
Hey Janessa,
Thanks for the comment. Which venue was that with Jack’s? I photographed him three or four times last year, I think.
The FTSK shots will be up as soon as the label/band approves them. But on that note, there should be some exciting news from that shoot soon.
Glad to know they’re finally on a bigger tour. They’re a great band and deserve to break.
Hey Andy,
I’d never seen Paper Route before, but I definitely came away impressed. The band put on a great show and I will definitely be checking them out next time they roll through. Tons of energy in their live show.
Excellent photo, sir and I’m glad to see you out there once again. Looking over this frame, I’m curious about any Photoshop Actions you apply when working your photos if any.
Hey Mike,
Nice to see you at the show. I have a standard “save for web” action that resizes, sharpens, etc. That’s the only action I apply to all images. There are some others that I have that do specific things, but this image is pretty much stock. No cropping, no WB-adjustment (shot on auto).
The first time I saw Jack’s Mannequin was in August of 08 I believe at The Pageant, second time at Verizon with The Fray, did you shoot for that show, I can’t remember if you did.
If you could post FTSK’s photos on twitter when they are approved that would be amazing, also I can’t wait for whatever news it is.
