So San Francisco is a pretty cool place. I was digging through some old stuff on the ol' hard drive and came across these pictures I took last January at a tsunami benefit event held at an art house/cafe/bar in the city. They brought in Thai dancers (not pictured), bellydancers, breakdancers, a small brass band and a huge marching band. The place was rockin'.
The first pic features a couple friends of mine who are bellydancers. They weren't performing that night; they were there to see their friends in the troupe on the bill.
One of my favorite things to do in picture-taking is to wait for the right moment and catch someone else's flash from somewhere else in the room. You get such a stark and vivid picture. The pictures were taken on a compact canon s400 point-n-shoot in very low light so they're really noisy.
