KP PCC 2004 - 'Story'

My first attempt at event photography...

Dianne, Ginet, and Sheryl's PCC in 2004 was a wonderfully intense experience. A beautifully told story and a great concept - it was probably one of my favorite PCCs or PCNs that I have ever seen... In my third year of college, I decided to sit it out PCC (a decision that proved to be continued on for the rest of my years) and as it turned out, I was exactly where I needed to be. I do not believe an entire UCSD KP PCC performance was ever covered photographically, and in fact, I’m not even so sure that it ever was done again in the same way this one was… 

Before I go on further – I have to give credit to my lovely Vaness who actually has an undercover talent for photography as well! She was my 2nd shooter at this stage event and actually turned out some amazing photos… At this point I don’t remember which one’s are hers, but they will be noted in the photo footer if I am sure it is hers… also – remember – these are scans of pictures (cuz digi-SLR wasn’t quite completely mainstream yet)…   There were literally hundreds of pictures that me and Vaness took... here are some of the better ones... Enjoy!

Here is the view from my point of view... It is kinda cool to see two views of the same situation!  This is actually one of my most favorite shots because of its candid qualities.  And I didn't pose them - they are actually doing an acting warm up.

This entire photography experience was really fun. It actually was the first time that I was asked to do event photography – and I would say that it was my first semi-pro assignment! Thanks DQ, G, and ading for that chance! It felt really pro - running to all sorts of locations, having tri-pods pre-positioned, over 20 rolls of film, back-up batteries… it all drove the kind of adrenaline that I love about assignments like this… Imagine doing an indoor, dark, stage performance shoot with a D300! For now, I can only imagine...
