Bud Jam 2009

Another shot from the 2009 Bud Jam concert held in Northborough, MA.  There were a lot more photographers there this year than last.

Serendipity

I was out on a photo shoot and spotted this up on the side of the hill.

Click on the photo for a better image.  Yup, it’s a mannequin on the side of a hill with a really good view.

The site was near the old Spooky World site, so I’m guessing this mannequin used to be part of that.

The Green Saxaphonist

I attended the 2009 Bud Jam concert. In addition to the great music, it is an excellent opportunity to practice concert photography.

Update: November 9, 2009.  This photograph, with the copyright watermark cropped off, has been appearing on an ad on Facebook without my knowledge or consent.  If you see it, please send me a screenshot and report that ad as using copyrighted material without the owner’s consent.

Update: November 16, 2009. I heard from Facebook, and they claim to have pulled the ad with my photograph, but won’t give me any data on the company that was using it without my consent.  I’m glad that the ad was pulled but, Facebook could have handled this better.

Thanks!

Why did the turkeys cross the road?

As far as I could tell, they wanted to get to the other side.

Pamela’s Pink Bear

I saw this pink bear by Pamela’s monument in a Worcester, MA graveyard today.  It looks like it was placed there since the last snow fall.
