The Music Returns

Run Catch Rain at Running Hare May 30 2020

A little more than 2 months after I shot a show at the Tiki Bar, before the total shutdown, I was able to shoot live music once again. The governor allowed businesses to serve food and drink in outdoor setting provided they followed social distancing guidelines. Little did I expect that friends would get the chance to play the next day at a local vineyard. Soon as I saw Run Catch Rain would be preforming I knew where I was going to be. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors and it was great to see friends I hadn’t seen in so long. More importantly, for my mental health I suppose, I was getting to shoot something that wasn’t standing still. It was so good to be shooting something with action and emotion. Capturing nature allowed me to keep my sanity but it didn’t satisfy my passion quite the same. Maybe it had something to do with moving myself as I shot the show. The music and fellowship was awesome and so dearly needed. As good as it felt we are far from back to normal. I am also probably still very far away from shooting any sports. Indoor shows are probably not a possibility for quite some time as well. In the days ahead I will be searching for shows and events that I can possibly shoot. Who knows, I may still keep shooting some nature in the weeks ahead. I still am holding out hope for some baseball but that will probably lost if something doesn’t change in the next few weeks.
