    Wow you have seen some crazy bands. That guy from Camarosmith looks like he could be Satan. lol

    Cool.

  3. Mother of the Wild Boys Says:

    I think you should host your own Music Awards show on TV. I’d watch that.

  4. Janelle Says:

    Can we still be friends if I never want to go with you to one of these?

    —-smiling sheepishly—-

    The pictures are amazing. I bet it was fun to have so many great photo opportunities there. The dread locks were my favorite though.

    And REO Speedealer is really funny.

    How, just how are you not noticed by someone (famous or influential) for your photography???!! It is so great that you have such a great portfolio. I second your own awards show.

    That pic of Nathaniel; he has always favored Daniel to me, but that one, he could be you sitting there (the facial expression is you all over!). At least I think it’s Nat.

  6. Susan M Says:

    Thanks. But no it’s not Nathaniel–Elijah’s the redhead. Besides his coloring, I think he does look more like my side of the family.

  7. bythelbs Says:

    I agree with Robyn. These could be published, used as album art or something.

    That’s Elijah. Nathaniel has darker hair. I can see Susan making that expression. But from pictures I’ve seen of Daniel, I can see him making that expression, too.

    he’d probably play the keyboard better w/ his shoes off.

    btw, i love that opeth photo more every time you post it.

  9. Susan M Says:

    Me too. That’s why I keep posting it. :)

  10. Rich Says:

    Susan, your photography just keeps getting better and better; these are fabulous!
