Anita Coats’ Show: Trip Santa Monica

Anita Coats performed at a intimate bar called Trip last night in Santa Monica.  There was a crowd of about 50 people gathered around the stage sitting on couches or at high top tables on bar stools and listened quietly as Anita sang her heart out.

I didn’t want to blast her too much with my bright flash, so these two below were taken in a very very low light situation and edited later for the vintage look.  Jeremy is playing sax and Billy on drums.

Today is also day 2 of my 365 challenge.  (I have agreed to take a picture of myself/my life everyday for the next year and post it online.)  I really liked the lighting outside of the bar, so this is my shot from today.  I probably won’t post every picture of myself on the blog everyday, but if you’re curious on the progress I’ll try my best to post them HERE.  Feel free to post a comment or critique on your favorite photos, it will be very encouraging for me to know someone else sees them.  =)

After peeking at the picture above, I noticed the spotlights in front of the building.   I asked Anita if she would volunteer as my model.  She was kind enough to allow me to oblige.  I love how her eyes pop in these two pictures, wow.
