Rainbow over Planet Bluegrass
We just got done photographing the Folks Festival at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons. Brian, the marketing director at Planet Bluegrass, asked us to take pictures of the event. Mostly crowd and environment photos with a little of the concert. It was our first time being concert photographers. I’m loading the images now and making the back ups but I had to stop and post this photo. It rained quite a bit this weekend but any optimist knows after the rain the rainbows appear and on Saturday, wow, we got a spectacular show. A gorgeous rainbow painted the sky above Planet Bluegrass. Steve took this image from backstage while Greg Brown was performing. I just love the silhouette of the guitar player and the slightly stormy sky.
One more shot and a story. I enjoy taking pictures with my husband, really I do 
We get a little competitive though - but it’s a good thing. Earlier in the day I took this photo of The Waifs performing. As usual Steve and I look over each other’s shoulders at our photos and show off our favorites. I proudly displayed this cool shot and I saw the little touch of competitiveness in Steve’s eyes. He even said “I like your shot better” which is a huge compliment But competition is a good thing because it put the inspiration in him to create the cowboy and the rainbow shot which I like the best.
I’ll post some more photos from the Folks Festival later this week.
