Well the sometimes photo of the day is back after a long weekend at Bonnaroo. Despite being a loyal member of the hard working heart and soul press to attend Bonnaroo almost every year (all but the first) I was not allowed to shoot Metallica and Pearl Jam (which really upset me). I mean that is the main reason most people came to the festival this year. But apparently the only people worthy of bringing you news and images from Bonnaroo are the big dogs like Rolling Stone and other publications who were granted permission to shoot by the festivals publicist. So once again big dog beats little dog down the back stretch. I did get some good stuff though before laying down the lenses and having some fun.
ROO '08 will be your subject matter for a few days I'm sure.
Here we have !!!, Big Sam, Les Claypool, some crowd action, Ozomatli and Tiesto
Actually since there is a good chance I will not post anything during Bonnaroo I will post a few extras.
Here we have a shot of John Bell of Widespread Panic fame at Bonnaroo 2007, The Flaming Lips crowd late night at Roo 2007, the Lips themselves and the seldom seen Oysterhead from Bonnaroo 2006.
Bonnarooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! One of last year's headliners, and a somewhat disappointment, Sting from The Police. This year the headliners; Metallica, Pearl Jam and Widespread Panic should bring the heat all three nights. Also Kanye West 2AM main stage performance should be monumental. Now that it is almost here I can't wait to get it started!
In honor of seeing Les Claypool at Bonnaroo later this week, here is a photo of him from last year's Wakarusa. Which despite high winds and storms took place this past weekend. I wish I could have gone again this year. Lawarenece, KS is a cool place, and Wakarusa is a great festival.
Well I apologize for the extremely long hiatus. Summer is upon us and I should have tons of great stuff to post. Here is a photo of New Found Glory from the Nashville Merrell Crawfish Boil.
Brad Hodge Photography is about capturing essence. The magical moment when music unfolds into memories, a sun setting over a field of thousands or that moment of solitude when the world seems fair and just. When it happens we will be there, quietly without disrupting nature's flow to capture and share with the rest of the world.
Aside from the daily quest to capture moments of bliss, we also do band promotional portraits, album packaging, editorial assignments and much more.
