Tom LoSchiavo @ Arlene’s Grocery

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this, but as much as I love taking photos at shows – and just seeing shows in general – I am trying to make some kind of money off it, too. So naturally I was pretty stoked when Tom LoSchiavo, the worship leader at Apostles and an all-around cool guy, asked me after church one day if he could hire me to take some photos at one of his upcoming shows. He put me on the list for a show at Arlene’s Grocery at the end of last month and I went. That makes this my first paid gig. The light was tricky, so while I got some pretty kick-ass photos of him, I couldn’t get too many satisfactory ones of the rest of his band, even with a flash… but you didn’t need to know that. I haven’t heard what he thought yet, but he must have liked some of them, because he’s been posting them on MySpace.

Plus one for fun…
