Well, another year gone by with the camera more or less grown on to my hand. However, even though I took more than enough photographs during the year, somehow I’m left with the feeling that I should have done more. Note, this will be an exceptionally photo heavy post.
So, just when I though I’d get my pictures from Sotkamon Syke edited and published quickly, we start planning a trip to the US in late September throwing all of my internal scheduling ideas out of the window. And we did also spend several days cutting down trees in a forest. Firewood…
Anyway, on to the topic at hand, Tarot who were on the bill immediately after The Man-Eating Tree. This definitely isn’t the first time I’ve photographed Tarot and doing it this time didn’t offer any surprises.
As always, they performed a solid set and while the performance isn’t filled with huge special effects and dancing around the stage, they have good chemistry with each other and the audience.
Since they were on when daylight (even despite the rain/drizzle) was still strong enough, the light show didn’t really stand out in any of the images – except during the Pecu’s drum solo.
As always, more pictures are available in our gallery.
Anna and I got to spend the eve / early hours of our wedding anniversary by seeing Tarot play. It was our fourth time of seeing Marco on Tuple on stage in a year – not that we mind :). They were on tour promoting their latest album and Joensuu was the second to last night of the mini-tour. And it showed – in a good way.
I’m posting my galleries from KuopioRock in a miscellanious order, since Tarot was the first band we saw. They were scheduled to start playing sometime after four, so having enough light to shoot them definitely wasn’t an issue.
