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?
The Hold Steady @ River to River Festival, Castle Clinton, NYC 27.07.2006
The Hold Steady played a free show in Battery Park last night. The band, made famous by playing four shows in 48 hours at 2005’s SXSW, played a stripped-down acoustic set. If their acoustic set is any indication of how good their regular performances are, I’ll be at Irving Plaza when they play there on October 1st.
