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 Spinto Band @ River to River Festival, South Street Seaport, Pier 17, NYC 01.09.2006
Delaware six-piece The Spinto Band closed out the 2006 edition of River to River at South Street Seaport. To say these guys put on a good show would not be doing them justice. Simply put, these guys are just amazing on stage. It’s no secret that I’m partial to large bands (see: Beirut, The New Pornographers, etc.) – they get a plus for integrating the kazoo into their music.
