I saw a boat load of people in concert I didn't update in the blog for various reasons... but the BIGGEST reason: I moved from Colorado Springs to the Knoxville Tennessee area, Maryville to be exact.
So... as I finish getting relocated, hope you enjoy going back through some archived months and I'll update this (for real) very soon. Really.

Janis Ian
Saw Janis Ian tonight in Colorado Springs at Stargazers Theatre.
She's been performing since she was 14, has had several hit songs including her stellar song "seventeen", and exhibited her songwriting lyricism skills and simple finesse with a guitar to a pretty full crowd.
She performed two encores and said several times that this was one the best concerts she thinks she's had in a while.
Also - if she ever wanted to take a break from her music career she could make a living doing stand-up comedy... check out her lyics from her song "married in london"
here.
(She performed this live tonight and I swear she used a different word than "bugger" in the last line! )

Chester Bennington, Linkin Park
Photographed Linkin Park at the Denver Pepsi Center last night. This was a tough shoot. The lighting was really tough, alot of backlighting and smoke swirling around, but hey, you do your best!

Jake Loggins
This shooting bands thing has gotten to be bigger than *I* am. I see my photos being used all over the internet on facebook and a few other places in profiles and band web sites.
I let the low-res ones slide, I don't chase anybody down and say "bad musican! bad! don't hork my photos!". rather... i kinda dig it. most of them - i'd say 99% of them - keep the credit on there like they're supposed to.
I have been asked for prints (even from the major national acts I've shot, so thats cool), I've designed a couple T-Shirts, worked on about 4 CD covers, made a bunch of business cards for people, and have designed all the normal graphic and layout stuff people need for a collateral package for repping themselves or for public relations and marketing. Great for sending with a demo CD to get that next gig, airplay, or what have you.
What can I do for you? 719-590-7112.
See www.butchleitzphotography.com for more (currently evolving).
Here's a recent photo I took of Jake Loggins. I love hearing his band play, so it's a treat to have some free time to shoot him when I can.

Cyril Neville
The Voice of the Wetlands Allstars tour came through Colorado Springs yesterday and I had the opportunity to shoot it and review it for the Gazette, and to hang out and talk with the musicians at a meet and greet and later on backstage.
If you're into the New Orleans style of funky cajun zydeco (ala the Meters) - there were some incredibly awesome jams during the night. Each of the performers that are touring lead bands in their own right and all have multiple CDs to their credit.
Cyril Neville is one of the famous "Neville Brothers" family and band, was a founding member of the Meters, the Neville Brothers (band), and has led his own bands as well as been a sideman for various other musicians (like Dr. John for example). A living legend in New Orleans music circles.

Monk here is the real deal: Big Chief of the Golden Eagles Mardis Gras Indian Tribe in New Orleans. He spends hours a day each and every day sewing on beads to his costume.

Versailles Passages, Château de Versailles, Paris, France
Just revisiting some of the art photos I have, this is one of the top-10 photos I have at Flickr at the moment (currently the 3rd most viewed). (Click the image to view larger.)
This print looks incredible at 20x30 stand-alone for an upscale nouveau look, or in a large formal frame with nice matting. (Print versions come without watermarking, thats just used for online presentation purposes.)
The last one I sold I got to see it hung in a beautiful setting in a formal dining room (suitably framed) and it was a fabulous enhancement to the setting.
Available in 20x30 and 30x40 sizes starting at $275 mounted on a simple 2mm styrene board to ease framing.
Also available in stretched canvas.
Contact me direcly via email at leitz@butchleitzphotography.com with any questions or to place an order.

ritratto di mia figlia - SENIOR PORTRAITS!
You know a high school senior along the front range looking for something totally different than the photos you may have seen other kids get?
Here's an example of a photo of my daughter I printed on heavy stock 3x5 cards with a high gloss uv finish, blank inside, used as thank you cards and personal note cards.
Elegant, tasteful.
Pricing varies. Scheduling now.

Michael Child
Since I mentioned Michael Child a second ago under the blurb about Wendy Austyn, here's a little more info about Child:
My review is here but in a nutshell, if you wanna see what a mashup of Coldplay, John Mayer, Maroon 5 and Jack Johnson might sound like, look no further.
Pretty good music, enormous potential. I enjoyed hearing him.

Wendy Austyn
Gettin' back in the groove from after the New Years Eve slow down in music and photo work, stuff is picking up fast again - couple commercial headshot shoots this week, some boudoir, odds and ends.
But hey:
Friday night had the opportunity to see Michael Child and his band, warming him up (figuratively but maybe literally since they're also "a couple") was Wendy Austyn.
Great voice, photogenic, should have a good future in music.
See my review here.
