Live Session August 21, 2005 Sunday afternoon I had my first experience with a group of four guys.... capturing images while they recorded at a local sound studio. You may remember back in July, I shot some photos for my friend Joe. The band members Joe, Jesse, Tim and Andre (who still remain undecided about a group name) had time blocked at Escarpment Sound located just north of Acton, to record eight of their original songs. I had an invite to capture some images for "posterity". Silly really, I hadn't even given any thought to ear protection while in a "live room". I quickly resorted to a few um, "hand gestures" to signal the boys ... hehe. The guys had on head phones and I soon wished that I'd picked up some ear plugs especially while shooting pics right next to drummer, Andre. DAMN, that's L O U D.
Tim provided the vocals and by the end of the day was a tad prone to "giddiness" or maybe it was the few beer nervously sipped between practice and recording, to sooth his parched throat.
Either that or I flashed a lot more while sitting on the floor, than just lighting from the camera. Several enjoyable hours and many laughs later, I packed it in for the day and rode the bike home in the cool night air while the beat of "Chronic ... chronic ... chronic super sonic, I'm a chronic malcontent..." played over and over in my head.
