I Heart Josh Groban...

Saturday, August 27, 2011
Key Arena, Seattle

So tonight was the big night.  The reason why I flew up to Seattle in the first place.  I came to see my future husband Josh Groban play at the Key Arena.  I joined the fan club so I could get pre-sale tickets, luckily I scored the 6th row!!  I was so excited.  One problem, they don't allow flash photography or "professional" cameras.  I took a chance.  I put on a big baggy jacket and hid my camera underneath.  I breezed through gate and got to my seat, but there were security guards everywhere!  I was freaking out for most of the concert, but once the lights went out and everyone started taking pictures I snuck out my baby and started shooting.  I'm so glad I did.   I was only able to bring my 85mm, it's one of smallest lenses I have.  My pictures didn't come out as close as I had liked but luckily the 5D is AWESOME when it comes to cropping.  Thanks to all of you who talked me into buying this!!!

This is Elew.  Have you heard of him?  I haven't.  He is an INCREDIBLE piano player, and also Josh's opening act.

Les said...

thanks! Ummmm...no. I don't need two crappy flashes. :|

Dd - I know! So talented, yah? I wish he would've thrown something out to the crowd, I would've tackled some senior citizen out the way for it :)

Thanks Erick! I'm soooo happy I broke the rules and snuck the camera in. I just wish I could bring my 70-200, but I guess that would've been a little too obvious :)
