Went to Vegas for a couple days at the end of August, and when I got home & turned the computer on I had no internet access. My friend's brother works on computers for a living, but he was out of town & not coming back until after the Labor Day weekend. Hence, no blog from me. Anyhow, I planned to call him Tuesday to set up an appointment. Lo & behold, I turned on the computer Monday night to work in Photoshop, and all my instant message programs loaded. Back online. Just like that. I have no idea what the problem was or how it fixed itself, I'm just glad to have internet access again.
While in Vegas, I saw the Doors play again. Also saw them in Lancaster, CA on August 30th. Kind of an odd time, which I won't get into here as who knows who is lurking. Needless to say, I got some great photos of the Sunset Station show (security can kiss everyone's ass), was able to wish Ian a safe journey in person (he's off to the Himalayas again, after which I am convinced he will get back with Billy & start up the Cult again - yay!), and it was nice to get out of town for a few days. I'll leave it at that.
Here's a shot from the Sunset Station show. Not bad considering the gusty winds that shook the hell out of my lens, and being stuck in the crowd that rushed the barricade. Try getting a clear shot of a singer to your left when you've got a burly, 6 foot tall, overly excited Doors fan in direct contact with your left elbow. It's not easy, let me tell you. I love it. It was so refreshing to bring out the "real camera" and the big lens for a change.
I've put more Doors shots up on my website -
www.ladyalchemy.com/Doors2005 - but I'm not happy with the design of the site anymore. Bored with it. Needs sprucing up. Not sure how I'm going to go about changing it. Not very confident with my web design skills. I really haven't got any. And I've still got so much photographic content I want to add to it as well. Spending time on design issues takes away time from putting up photo galleries. Frustrated. One step at a time I suppose.
Ok, I'm done rambling now. Good night.

Ian is starting to remind me of Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies with that headband.

Sometimes I think he should be institutionalized.
