Crazy weekend. James Zabiela and Deadmau5 are two of the biggest DJ's in the world, with James being a veteran and Deadmau5 being the "new big thing". Crazy night, and as you can see, Tommy Lee decided to stop by (working with Deadmau5 on tracks... http://www.myspace.com/wtfisthisstuff )

At Vanguard in Los Angeles on 3/8/08:

I like #6 best by far.
Rest is nice, but too flashed (Then again, I understand the need ;))

Yeah, if I didn't have the flash, there would be a nice solid black picture :P

Ever use a tripod? :-) Nice set. Those places are packed to the gunwales ... do they just listen or can they dance?

Sometimes, but my hand is very steady compared to most people, so I can have a very slow shutter with no blur most of the time.

Yeah, that sea of people is everyone dancing, but it's packed like a sardine can so some people don't want to be packed in the mess and dance off to the side or back where it is slightly less packed. Crazy thing is, it will be even more packed this weekend...maybe I will post those pics this weekend too just to show you.

I still have you on my "To Do" list but every time I turn around some new project comes up. Since we last talked I have a new website to develop for a vineyard farmer and a model that wants glamor/nude work and who is connected to a small flock of other models who may want to pay for portfolio images. I may have to retire early just accommodate all this stuff! I see no "slow time" at this point until the end of summer, sigh.

I like the look that you got w/ the flash... it doesn't *look* like you're in a dark, strobey club setting, and the clarity and UWA are very nice. I've been out of the global DJ scene for years, but Zabiela is a name I know quite well. I'll have to check out this Deadmau5 character. :) Thanks for posting... I really enjoyed this set of images.
