Last Thursday a local band to Albany NY, Hasty Page, opened for Ripe at The Hollow Bar+Kitchen. I only photographed Hasty Page instead of both bands because I had been wanting to do photos of them for a while and halfway through the show I wanted to put my camera down and enjoy the music fully. I love being able to photograph shows and concerts because music and photography are both huge passions of mine. When going to shows and taking photos, I can enjoy some good tunes and take crispy shots! Although this is literally so fun, When I’m taking photos, I am working to an extent. Always thinking, framing in my head, anticipating each next move. When I put down my camera I can completely let loose and end the night while just purely enjoying the music.

Hasty Page was amazing live and I loved the energy they put forth. Josh(drums and vocals), James(bass and vocals), and Zane(guitar and vocals) all seemed really in sync and interacted with the crowd on multiple levels. Next time you’re out looking for a good time, check out what shows they have lined up and ACTUALLY GO! (also check out Ripe because they know how to make a crowd dance!)

Here’s some of my favorites from that night!
