  Just one roll this time. Might as well update. I have 4 rolls of color film shot and sitting on my desk and no money to get them developed with.

  So, hey, if you read this and want a print of something shoot me an email, we'll work something out! I also have a recently opened etsy shop at rickyribe.etsy.com. Check it out!

  On with the photos.

  I learned to paint earlier the day this was shot. Well, I suppose I could paint before that day, but that day I began to learn to see colors and how to mix paint to match those colors. Shooting solely black and white film really makes the colors disappear. Quite an eye opening experience.

  Also we had barbecued peaches.

  

  I passed MJ's star on the way to the knitting factory. I really don't understand the obsession but I felt obligated to make a photo of the continuing fandom.

  

  I'm not sure I like this.

  

  Hip shot, thought the situation was funny.

  

  Finally at the show. This guy called himself Blue. He was ok. There was also a huge hole in his guitar.

  

  This is The Dangerous Summer. Had never heard of them prior to the show, but their live performance impressed me. Even more was the unusual fact that the bassist is the lead singer, pretty cool.

  

  Here's another. Notice the difference between the two (the guitarist on the right in this one is covering the light in the hallway in the back).

  

  I probably should have dared and focused on the girl in the foreground instead.

  Setting up for The Gay Blades.

  

  The absolute happiest drummer I have ever seen.

  Notice how the light in the back hallway has been turned off? Yea, you can thank Clark for telling someone to turn it off.

  

  They were amazing.

  

  Reach out!

  

  

  

  I'm not sure I could handle covering shows if I had to shoot digital. I'd end up with way too many shots.

  This pose.

  

  

  Look at him! He's so happy! I love it.

  

  

  

  Oh, I should also mention that for only being two guys, they were pretty damn loud.

  There were two other bands after The Gay Blades, but they weren't very good.

  Thanks for viewing this.
