Ryan's Teammate Mikey D has had a pretty devastating development with his heart, we are all sending him good thoughts and wishes for full recovery!

Pretty sure I got Mikey in all of these, if they are the wrong player apologies in advance!

I had a an absolute blast at Orion Festival in AC yesterday. Mostly I wanted to just absorb all the great music but you know I couldn't resist taking a few pics along the way. For that, my little Sony NEX-5n is so so so so good!

It remains my favorite little cam for walkabouts and ESPECIALLY concerts.

You can't use it expecting to make ultra sharp images every time but with the right lighting and a little luck you can make some very nice concert pics. And security never bat an eye at it thinking it's a DSLR...

I was literally less than 8 rows deep in the middle of a surging crowd, people were moshing it up, crowd surfing and generally going insane. Then the lead singer of Cage The Elephant decided he was going to join in!








For Metallica tho I was a little too far back to get any real details, but the lasers and showmanship were amazing!











Crowd surfing is not all fun and games tho, here's the proof: The most brutal picture I've ever taken =)

This little guy needed a hand to get across the road at APG. JB spotted him and we pulled over for the assist.

It's intense to watch him play, probably the greatest closer in our lifetime.

He will be waiting.

This is one of my coworkers, Morgan. You gotta see the gun he got, it's essentially a barrel fed shotgun on an AK-47 rails frame.

Spits out shells like candy as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Was glad to see that it didn't get cancelled, but let's put this one in the "Learning experience" column for the new organizers.... They need to coordinate with the auxiliary and get some ideas on how to make it a bit less chaotic next time!

Was proud to support TEDxMidAltantic as their Social Media guy and as a vol the day of the event. This is Reggie Watts rocking out on the keyboard, he is quite an interesting guy.

Pics from the day are up -here- and you can see the whole official Flickr stream -here-

From Row M of the Count Basie in Red Bank, NJ.

The Sony NEX-5n rocks in low light, most of these were shot at ISO 3200 or so.

Liking this lil guy so far, perfect when I don't want to lug a big DSLR with me, and better high-ISO performance than my 3 year old D300 to boot. Win.

It's humbling to play with a new camera...

This is arguably one of the worst pictures I've taken in years.

And yet... It makes me happy.

Yup, I'm behind on these too!

Here they are, finishing up my backlog. -here-
