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?
Beirut @ Pool Parties, McCarren Park Pool, Brooklyn 13.08.2006
All the cool kids came out to see Beirut play to a very packed (but not uncomfortably so) McCarren Park Pool. My love for bands that feature lots of people playing many diverse instruments is no secret and Beirut is no exception. Changing up instruments between songs with a deftness that would put a Vermont Little League coach to shame, the guys (and gal), put on an awesome show.
