Obama Election Night

The night Obama was to be elected, I was invited to blog at an election watch party at Friendship West Baptist Church. The place was packed and Fred Hammond was going to perform later that night. Everyone was excited and cheering as the results came in and at around 10pm it happened. Fred was in the middle of his song and people were going crazy. Obama had won the election! Fred and everyone in the church started singing “This is the Day”. It was great.

Here are some pictures from that night. I didn’t have a flash at the time, so I had to post-process a lot of these to make them brighter.

Sang Patti!!!

Earlier this year, I got the opportunity to see Patti LaBelle in concert. My church’s male chours was invited to open for her in Garland and I had to play trumpet on a couple of songs (yes, I opened for Patti). I’d never seen her in concert and I can honestly say, I had a good time. She seemed to go off the cuff and got the audience involved.

What I liked was that she WANTED people to take pictures. She invited people on the floor to come down while she posed. We were on the left side of the stage in the first couple of rows, so I used my 50-200mm lens. It was dark and I didn’t have a flash at the time, but I managed to get some decent shots.
