Alzheimer's Music Fest

Recently I attended the Alzheimer's Music Fest hosted by Eddie Owens at the Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth, GA.  The festival raises funds for family caregivers of those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease.

My colleague, Lou Raimondi, organized a photo shoot of the event for a group of photographers.  I was excited for the opportunity to shoot in such a dynamic environment.  Lou shared his experience with concerts and provided some helpful tips.  The light changes in relation to your angle to the stage, making it a bit of a challenge to get the right shot.  It helps to crank up the ISO so that the shutter speed is high enough to freeze the action.  Here are some of the performers in action:

Lianne Hutcheson

Pure Ed

The Listening Wall

The Lost Boys

Peyton Parker

Bumpin the Mango

Andrew Black

Ann-Marie Petty Band

The Mike Watson Band

The added bonus was listening to some great music for a very worthy cause.  I definitely plan on attending next year.

Enjoy the day,
George
