Rooftop Concert photos

by justin on July 7, 2011

in Music,Rooftop Concert

In case you were not among the 2,500 people that came to our last rooftop concert, let me show you some pictures and give you a taste of what it was like. And if you’re going to be anywhere near Provo on the first Friday of the month in August, September and October, I encourage you to come dip your toe in that sweet, sweet music pool that is the Rooftop Concert Series. The thing about music is when it hits you, it feels good.

Libbie Linton

Early arrivals at the rooftop

Cherrie Call

Sam Payne

Ahhh...., cute

Want to know who's running the show? Sarah. That's who.

There's trouble brewing here. You can just feel it.

I'm probably the mayor's best friend, and doesn't C. Jane look great.

Encore!

Goodnight everybody

Now that's how you have an outdoor concert

If I was going to be in town on June 3rd, this is without a doubt where I would be. But I’m not going to be in town, and that’s a real bummer. But if you are going to be near Provo, then you are not going to want to miss this. So far the Rooftop Concert Series has been fantastic and you wonder how it’s going to get any better. Well, on June 3rd, it just might get better. Mindy Gledhill and Meaghan Smith. You don’t need to dream it. It’s happening for reals.

Practice makes the lower lights perfect

by justin on October 1, 2010

in Music,Provo

Don’t forget, the Lower Lights play a free show today, October 1st at 8pm on the roof of the Central Bank parking lot in Provo and sponsored by Cjane. The address is 100 North and 100 West. Libbie Linton will also perform. It’s going to be great and I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time. Here are some pictures from a recent Lower Lights rehearsal.

…..

In other news, October is shaping up to be a busy month and it’s only just started. I have twenty-six portrait sessions scheduled and four weddings. Ten of those sessions are in Denver. I had only planned on doing six there, but added four additional sessions to accommodate requests.

In August I went to New York to photograph the BlogHer convention and will go to San Francisco next week to photograph another one of their conventions. It’s a much smaller affair this time, so I won’t get to take Trevor along, like last time. Don’t worry Trevor. We’ll shoot it again together next year in San Diego.

A couple days ago I took down the 30 Strangers exhibit that had been at the Provo Library for the month of September. Two pieces from last year and two from this year will be part of an exhibit at BYU this month. I already mentioned the exhibit on my blog, here, and will probably mention it again as the day of the opening (October 14th, gets a little closer). In conjunction with the exhibit, I gave a lecture at the library last week about portrait photography and how to improve your own pictures. If I get around to it, I’d like to whip up some notes I used and write a post on what was said. This comes as a suggestion from Marta.

Earlier this week I was at WedSmith as the official photographer. Hilary at Alta Moda knows how to plan an event. It was fantastic and I’m really happy to have been a part of it. I’ll post some of the pictures soon, but in the mean time, I just wanted to mention that I got to meet Lara Casey and I dig that lady. She is so impressive. Meeting her made my whole month.

So, here we go. October. Let the good times roll.

Photograhping Mindy Gledhill

by justin on July 29, 2010

in Music,Provo

Mindy was shooting a video for one of the songs on her latest album (that’s why she’s wearing butterfly wings. She wasn’t born with those). My office is in the building just next door so I poked my head in and took some pictures.

Speaking of her latest album, she’s having a CD release concert, sponsored by CJaneRun on August 2nd at the Covey Center. You can get tickets here and you’d be smart to do just that. Mindy’s concert will be great, and beyond that, the Thrillionaires will be performing. The Thrillionaires–you know, Brett Merritt, Lisa Clark. They’ll make you laugh your head off, so bring a second head. See you there!

Mindy Gledhill

If I could sing as well as Mindy Gledhill, I would never use a speaking voice. I would sing everything I wanted to say. I would order food in a singing voice. My voice mail message would be a song. I wouldn’t even talk in my sleep. I’d sing in my sleep. I would always be singing. That’s if I had a voice like Mindy Gledhill.

For me, making friends with Mindy is one of the highlights of 2010. This girl is all charm. She is driven to be a great artist and entertainer (which I totally admire), she’s affable, beautiful, caring, and like I said before, has a voice that will melt you. Mindy Gledhill is amazing and I adore her.

And now, this can’t come soon enough. Mindy will be performing on August 2nd at the Covey Center in Provo for her latest album release. That night, you’ll be able to get your mitts on the CD before it’s available in stores. Here’s where you can get tickets to the concert. The Thrillionaires will be performing that night, too.

I like what Hailey Smith said on Facebook. “You would just be silly to not come to this.”  And she’s right.

Proceeds from the concert will go to benefit the arts in Provo. More specifically, a concert series that’s being put together by Mindy, Courtney, Sarah and myself as part of Provo’s Center Focus efforts. So get your tickets today. I’ll see you August 2nd!
