The annual Bikes, Blues and BBQ rally has invaded Fayetteville. I really could have done without it this year, but nobody really checked with me on this one.There was something significant about today though. Today is the first day I blogged for my newspaper. The newspaper's blog went live with the start of the rally, and in the middle of my first day of shooting the rally I posted a couple of pics.
Now one of the reason I started 3x5 was to get used to writing and updating a blog. I wish more people on our staff had done that, because it is obvious that some of the people posting don't really know what a blog is.
As of now I'm not a fan, mostly because Blogger is so pretty, and our newspaper's blog is kind of rigid and ugly. But also, we have a set of rules we have to follow, which include such gems as "stay on topic," "don't post personal opinions," and "don't insult anyone." How can they send me to a biker rally and not expect me to make fun of someone?
Now these people I actually liked. Their clothing choices may be kind of crazy, but there was something wonderful about them. I just had to stop them to include them in a slideshow I was making. When I told the woman I thought they looked fantastic, she jokingly replied "Then I have serious questions about your photographic eye." If I had a nickel for every time I heard that...
And I just loved this picture. The lead singer, at right, was walking through the crowd for a little audience participation. Its obvious she is not impressed with the white girl who thinks she can sing.

Hey Michael, interesting blog. Thanks for reading my PR recap. Glad you liked it!
Hey Michael,
Thanks for the kind words. You caught me like 2 min before an update.
Where did you find my blog? EAW?
Anyway, I really liked flipping through your entries, and I definitely sympathize with your sportrait woes.
