The Wong Way
Back in July 2006, I bought my first digital SLR camera. The very next day, I brought it with me to Siren Festival in Coney Island. Although the shots from that concert didn't turn out too hot - too far away, too much of a novice with the camera - I wasn't deterred from future attempts at concert shooting. Ultimately, I decided to start a musicblog, titled The Wong Way, featuring photos I took from the concerts I went to. It ran regularly from July 2006 to December 2006 and while I'd like to start it back up some day, I prefer to just enjoy concerts from the sidelines. But who knows what the future will bring, right?
Eli “Paperboy” Reed @ Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge 21.07.2006
In Boston for the weekend and with my plans for the night cancelled (thanks, Beryl), I took in a concert at Middle East. Middle East has several concert rooms – think Knitting Factory in NYC; this concert was in the “Upstairs” venue.
With the mics and amps for Yoni Gordon’s set off the floor and out of the way, it was time for Eli “Paperboy” Reed & The True Lovers to take the stage. He may be from Boston but Eli’s music is all soul and blues.
During Yoni Gordon’s set, I asked Eli Reed for a candid shot; he obliged.
Hey Just wondering if my last email went through? I will definitely credit you for the photos on the site! You can email them to me or you could do Yousendit or something along those lines just let me know as soon as you can! Thanks
