UPDATE 5.24.26

Spent a few hours shooting the HEAT event at Jackhammer on Friday evening. I arrived a little early so as to avoid walking into a super-packed venue. For whatever reason, my anxiety going into the event was at a higher-than-normal level but the gradual ramp-up of the crowds arriving let me get my bearings and get shooting.

There was also some more intense “club” lighting happening and it took me a good while to adapt my camera settings, but we finally got there and got working. The crowd ended up being super friendly and I met a handful of really great people.

Around 2AM when I dumped my memory cards I realized I had some shots that I was really happy with and then spent the next two hours working through a bunch more. I had ZERO business staying up until 4AM that night as I had to be back to my day job at 10AM, but hey…shit happens. You can see the full set of photos from the evening HERE.
