Last night was a rarity in performance. The stage at Park West in Chicago was shared by three very talented artists, along with their musician friends (i.e. Joshua Radin's band). To make everything even more unique, one of my favorite actors (and everything else that he is behind the scenes) made a cameo appearance - Zach Braff.
I was making some notes on my blackberry when he walked out, and heard all kinds of squealing girls when he came on stage. When I looked up, he was just a few feet away from me. I had no idea what was going on at first, but then I realized who he was, and grabbed my camera to take photos. Now I kind of feel like a photo 'slut' from it... sorry, Mr. Braff... I suck.
Anyway, the main thing I want to stress about last night's venue is just how personable the setting is. It was the second time that I've seen/shot a show at Park West, and was very much like the Kaki King show I recently shot; the audience felt like a very large group of friends.
Finally, these photos were shot for the Chicago Music Guide. I was recently named the lead photographer for the publication, and am very honored at the 'upgrade.' Thank you Dennis :)
And now for some pictures!
