Photography Day: Matt's Concert Memories

Today is Photography Day. I thought I'd share, from one of my hobbies, some of my favorite shots that I've captured at Country Music and Rock shows in our region. I'm an amateur shutterbug and, for me, there's nothing more satisfying than coming away from a show with at least one magical photo. By that I mean I managed to have it in focus, framed well and of the subject in action. It may not be perfect but it's good and means a lot to me. I'm happy to share this small sampling of concert memories with you. There are so many more, most shot on film, that are tucked away in photo albums. This batch comes from more recent shows shot on a digital camera. Yes, NONE of these were shot on a phone.
