Another busy night
A serendipitous day yesterday. I was training a group of people in photography yesterday morning, then came home to work on the images of the last week, and then got a phone call inviting me to one of the biggest concerts in Sydney for Simon & Garfunkel. I went not as a photographer, but as a guest and witness, and yes I don't go anywhere without a camera and took a couple of shots as well.
That event coincided with the Sydney Swans & Collingwood AFL (Aussie Rules) game in the ANZ Stadium next door and with inclement weather and cold air combined for a huge array of people waiting to get in to cars and public transport back home and to the far distant carparks. I walked briskly back to my car about 3km's away and then went to another concert of the Brewster Brothers at a private residence in a warehouse. It was owned by a wonderful young man who collects mannikins and curios that spanned generations, what an interesting venue. I was there for a couple of hours and got home very late or very early depending on which side of midnight you look at. It was a very interesting day, and I am so very grateful for the opportunities that are available to me and growing.
My review on the Simon & Garfunkel Sydney concert number 1 at the Acer Arena was an interesting one. It was a great feeling to be at the feet of such musical legends. Their tunes have spanned the years and are warmly enjoyed by millions, including me. I absolutely loved Artie Garfunkel's voice. It transcends the years and was truly inspiring. Paul Simon's section of the concert where he sang his songs was also great, however when they were together, I could not help feeling that despite Art Garfunkel's warm and generous praise he showered on Paul was not reciprocated. I could be totally wrong here, and will accept the criticism if leveled at me, but I sensed Paul was not totally happy to be there. Perhaps he was tired, perhaps he was un-rested or whatever, it is just that after the concert of Tommy Emmanuel, and afterwards at the Brewster's I felt that Paul didn't connect with his audience as warmly the other people did. Artie certainly did. Despite that I loved the concert and was again very grateful to be there, especially when the seats I was in were selling for $385 each! But musically, harmoniously they are still so good. The back-up band who played for them did such a great job, they were very good.
Then the Brewsters!
What can I say about these guys I haven't said already, I love them. They have introduced a new member called Andrew Toner and after having met and photographed him, I found him to be a wonderful guy. John Brewster's son Sam is now also starting to play along as well in different venues. It is a very nice experience to be such a small part of.
The Simon & Garfunkel shots were taken on the Nikon P90 which is a great little camera.
