Sleep Party People photos

Actually I have a lot to post.... so maybe I´m going to be a bit hyper active the next couple of days?

I went to a concert with Sleep Party People in Little Vega, Copenhagen last saturday. It was really great, just a little short, so I´ll look forward to the time when they have a bigger pile of songs to perform.

I normally don´t take photos at concerts. I have a friend, Lars Dela, that does that very well instead, but he was busy somewhere else that night, so I decided to give it a try. Also because Sleep Party People always perform disguised as rabbits, and I wanted photos of that.
 
I have no idea of what settings to use in my camera, so I experimented a bit. And it turned out that the only thing working was something called night snap shot, so I ended up with only 3 photos that worked (and one of them needed a little help in photo editing from Janis Sawyer, thanks).

But I´m pretty proud of those 3 shots, so here they are (I even uploaded them on Gaffa Photo Award after they called for more female photographers, but I don´t have high expectations on that though):

Meeting Sally Mankus

While staying in Seaside, Florida with my friend Janis Sawyer, we got a visit from another mixed media artist, Sally Mankus. Janis introduced me to her art and website some time ago, and I really like what she is doing and I do feel related to her art. I don' t know that many artists that I do feel related to, so it was nice meeting her. I just wish we'd had more time to talk...... like days instead of hours ;-)

We talked a bit about being an artist and how you make yourself seen on the internet, which is something that I know nothing about. So that was interesting. It's not the aspect of your work that you want to spend the most time on, but making public relations for yourself is part of the job.... So when I get back home to Copenhagen, I'm gonna look into that on my path to fame:-)

If you' re into my art, you should take a look at Sally's homepage. I guarantee you that she is doing some very interesting stuff! See:
