Today’s Catnap

This gorgeous Midwest weather is perfect for an outdoor catnap!
I’ve been MIA for a bit here on the blog but happy to report I’m back with lots to share.
If you’re new to the catnap series start here.  And be sure to check out previous installments on my Pinterest board.
Until the next nap…

Motley Crue The End – My Final Show (Concert Photography)

Tomorrow is Motley Crue’s cinema debut of their final show!  I’m traveling, with my boyfriend and a group of friends, to Rockford, IL to see the film. SO EXCITED!  Click here to see if there’s a theater near you.

It still feels a bit surreal that they’re done performing as a band.  But it’s okay they left us with a library of music to last a lifetime.

I was lucky enough to see them from the front row of their final tour.  My girlfriend is a master at scoring the best seats in the house!  It was there that I experienced my last Motley Crue show…ever.  And if you know me I was fully prepared to capture every single moment of it.

After sorting through somewhere around 400+ images (I kid you not) here’s 20 of my favorite.  All captured with my cellphone.

Today’s Catnap

Today’s Catnap takes us to a storefront in Galena, IL.  All That’s Vintage graciously allowed us to capture this photograph in their store.
We’re anxiously awaiting for Springs arrival.  Although the Winter season hasn’t been all that bad some tulips and green grass would be nice.
If you’re new to the Catnap series, “thank you” for visiting.  Make sure you check out previous installments here.  If you’ve been here since day 1, “thanks” for tagging along.
Until the next nap…

Happy Birthday Alice Cooper! – Concert Photography – Eightymillion Photography

Today the one and only Alice Cooper turned 68!  He continues to pack arenas around the world with his theatrical performances. I had the pleasure of attending his show in Moline, Illinois back in 2014 at the iWireless Center. This was my first time seeing him live.
If you’ve never been to one of his concerts pick up some tickets today!  Read a little more about Cooper here.
Here’s what I captured from my cell phone.  Enjoy the gallery.
Until the next show…

First Midwest Snow

The first snowfall has arrived in the Midwest.  As much as I hate Winter it was cool to watch and of course photograph.
This post is over a week late and the snow is already melted.  Rest assured there is more coming.
Enjoy the gallery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s Catnap

Today's Catnap by Eightymillion Photography

Cooler temps have arrived here in the Midwest.  My boyfriend and I are NOT a big fan of Winter and all that comes with it.

This is one of the last images we captured before our first snowfall landed.  It’s very cold and damp outside and there will be more snow to come.

Therefore we have decided to continue this blog series throughout the Winter months using images we haven’t shared yet.  Because realistically, who takes a catnap outside in the Winter?

Come Spring of 2016 we’ll be back out there!  On the pavement, in the grass, and wherever else the project takes us.  Thanks for following along.

National Camera Day 2015

Happy National Camera Day! Truth be told, I’ve never heard of it until a post showed up in the Facebook feed this morning.
What better reason does one need to take some pictures.  Adam peeked inside my closet and came up with an idea for a photoshoot using my personal collection of vintage cameras.
Twenty nine images later…  Ironically, that’s the number of images we ended up with in the end. Read more here about this awesome day.
