Mommy's Little Monster Went to St. Louis

For years, without hesitation, one of my favorite bands has been Social Distortion. Not many people around here have heard of them, but the few i have met are like unicorns. Anyways, I FINALLY GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE. I obviously didn't go alone, so i brought along Mariah! She loves music, and is always up for adventure, and that's what i love about her. We drove all the way to St. Louis, that's right. A 5 hour drive just to see a 3 hour show. Completely worth it! We had a few bumps in the road, like me scratching my arm and not realizing i was bleeding like someone in Sweeney Todd when their throat gets sliced. I'm not lying, it was quite scary. The night was just amazing. One i will never forget. 

Jonny Two Bags, and The Whigs opened up the show. I hadn't really heard many songs from The Whigs, but boy they're actually pretty good. And Jonny Two Bags also performed with Social D. 

I am still pumped, just at the fact i was so many feet away from Mike Ness.
They performed so many favorites: Machine Gun Blues, Story of my Life, Ball & Chain, Mommy's Little Monster...
Even covered 6 More Miles, by Hank Williams, and ended the show with Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

Enough with all this talk, now let's get to some photos! 
Enjoy:)

had to take this, of course

An adventure with drew where he didnt want his picture taken, so he took photos of me.










Not My Cup of Tea

I usually don't like to do very much retouching to portraits, but tonight i am absolutely bored and feel like playing in photoshop. Usually all i'll do is mess around with color, and do absolutely nothing to skin. (maybe fix a blemish here or there) I like to keep the model as natural looking as possible. But like i said, i'm bored so here's a photo retouch i did from a recent shoot with mariah.
i also couldnt decide whether i liked the color or monochrome better...
