[arisommer]

A few from the Family Records love-fest at the Bowery Ballroom that retired The Undisputed Heavyweights. This was October, I think.

C&C welcome.

Great shots! I especially love the first and the way the light hits him from above.

I'm right outside NYC, so I go to the Bowery venues occasionally. Did you get your photo pass from the band or the venue? 1 show I went to, I could have sworn they had guys in there with DSLRs that did NOT have passes, but I've never had luck getting photo passes with any of the Bowery venues. Any advice?

Hey, sorry for the delay. I got a pass through the label. I'm friendly with one of the other bands on Family Records, and with a publicity gal, which is how I got those. I've also gotten passes there through lighting designers as trade for portfolio pics. Good luck!
