Good news - getting a new camera soon so hopefully the battery time and video quality will improve. Enjoy!

Freakin at the Freakers Ball

Well there's gonna be a freakers ball
Tonight at the freakers hall
And you know, you're invited one and all

Come on babies grease your lips
Grab your hats and swing your hips
Don't forget to bring your whips
We're going to the freakers ball

October 31, 2009 Driveby Sonata played the 35th annual Freakers Ball at the Cains.

We did not have nearly as many friends in attendance this time. However the room quickly filled with people we did not know. A mini mosh pit formed behind me and the crowd really seemed to get into the music. All in a a very positive event! Forgive the photos, the lighting in the Bob Stage is awful!

Back from the Dead

Have you noticed Grant is in a band here locally (Tulsa), if not let me issue a reminder. www.drivebysonata.com.

Friday marked the first gig since the reorganization and it was a successful endeavor. The crowd was good. The venue was exceptionally nice and clean. Driveby Sonata did GREAT! The band had great energy!

Here is some pics I took!










As a result I have elected to resurrect my old photography moniker 'laurie.ink photography'

I would also like to issue a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the following: the Marquee for a stellar non-smoking venue, My Solstice for inviting DBS to play, and most importantly our friends for coming out and supporting DBS.

Now back to pricing cameras with better shutter speeds.

Gearing Up for Sr Portraits

**Deep Breath**

I bought a book this week on the buisiness of photography. I need to get down and take myself seriously on this venture. A woman I work with has asked me to shoot her daughters Sr. Potraits. I have shot them in the past, but with family that was a much less daunting task. I am ordering more books on the matter, just cause it has been so long.

As a matter of fact here is a sampleing of those Sr. Pics

The hiatus has been over for some time, I have just been lazy.

I have added some new photos and Lucky Streak products to my Cafe Press store, and in the very near future I am planning on starting up a stock photography buisiness on the web. So pleas check out the Cafe Press store in the task bar on the right.------->

Creative Hiatus...

I promise, more to come soon! Just keep checking back!

Here goes nothing.

A good friend has started up a shop on cafe press to sell her art work. And I was looking thru it and thought, why not me? Why not share the photos that I keep for my memories. So today I opened up a shop on cafe press. Once I have it all together I will be sharing it!
