First, a huge thanks to the As I Lay Dying crew and August Burns Red’s Matt Greiner for allowing me to shoot their shows stage-side. It was an unbelievable experience to see both bands perform at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City last Wednesday night. My brother (as well as the whole gatewood crew) was there to help take hydrate me and watch my gear. Thanks also, to Max for giving a heads up to the security guards so that I could get behind the gates. Anyway, enough thanks…here are the links to the shows.

On side note, I changed up the way that my galleries are organized. After analyzing traffic to my site I realized that most people didn’t click past the second or so group of pictures which is a shame because the best pics aren’t always at the front of the gallery. For the curious, I made the decision a while back that I would put up as many pics of the show as possible rather than cherry pick according to my tastes; I never know what someone else may think is amazing.

That being said, you now get a full page of thumbnails now and the option to click and enlarge the photo from there.

Also, saving pictures now is much easier as well…after you click on the picture…right below it is a “save picture” link.

Enjoy,
