New York City #2

I have an affection for a great city. I feel safe in the neighborhood of man, and enjoy the sweet security of the streets.

Bob Dylan, Willie Neslon and John Mellencamp concert in Essex Junction Vermont 7/18/09

Just returned from this great concert. Dylan poet laureate for generations to come, never fails to reinvent his style of music for each decade, his tight rich band played tunes from his latest album and new variations of his old classics. Willie Nelson singer, song writer, poet, activist at 77 continues to have one of the greatest voices in American/Outlaw country music.
John Mellencamp put on a great performance (sorry no pics or vids).


Unfortunately cameras are no longer allowed at concerts, this deserves a whole blog onto itself. I could not sneak in the heavy artillery (Nikon F2 with telephoto lens), but was able to bring in a $99.00 Insignia camcorder, which was not much bigger than my cell phone, see Insignia 5.0MP HighDef for more info. Eventually I was caught and concert security made me shut it off. The 3" color lcd display (no optical viewfinder) can be seen from quite a distance, at least from the aisles by the security guards. No optical zoom (digital zoom was worthless), the internal mic clipped a lot of audio during the Dylan performance (probably the volume level). But the Willie Nelson stuff looked great in high def. The videos I have uploaded here have been compressed in a Flash FLV format, not as high quality, but should download a lot quicker

Trees, Dane Conover

Dane Conover (aka Trees) The 'New Wave' album Sleep Convention 1982, (Produced by Kim Fowley).

This was before digital image processing and no darkroom manipulation was used to create this image. This was shot as a double exposure 4x5 format with fluorescent and strobe lighting to capture the analog video synth image. Dane had to hold the pose for at least 30 seconds.
