like i’ve said for the last few years, this is clocking in at about a 100+ photo post so don’t expect a lot of commentary from me.

so sit back and enjoy photos of a rocking show!

and, as always, let’s give props to Stephen Barnett of Davaine Lighting for lighting so awesome, we need to come up with a better word than “awesome” to describe it! 🙂

so, without further ado:

Posted in Color, Digital, Esperanza Plantation Holiday Showcase, From The Archives, rock and roll by William Patrick Butler on December 15, 2009

so, as i was scrolling through my recent entries, it occurred to me that i haven’t posted many photos from live shows lately

coming up on Dec 19th is the annual Esperanza Plantation Holiday Showcase at the Pix/Capri Theater in Fondren.

getting that facebook invite reminded me that i never, actually, posted a lot of the photos i shot of last year’s Holiday Showcase.

well, time to fix that

so sit back and enjoy photos from last year’s kick-ass show.  i’m sure this year will be just as good! (and i sure wouldn’t mind shooting this year’s too.  hint hint!)

A Very Esperanza Christmas 🙂
