I was out shopping and wandered up on a Mix 100 concert series at the Southlands Shopping area in Aurora, Colorado. The Hazel Miller Band was performing and as usual it was a standout show. Gotta love summer and the free concert series.

I have only just recently started taking my camera bag with me all the time. Currently, my bag set-up kinda sucks so I tend to leave it at home a lot, but I decided that I was missing too many photo-ops by not having my equipment so…I toss my bag in the backseat every time I leave the house now.

That is the only reason I got this shot. I was out running errands, heard a lot of ruckus so wanted to see what was going on…and there was the Hazel Miller Band about to end their free concert. I literally jumped out of my car, grabbed the camera and started shooting photos. I probably had about 2 minutes before Hazel walked off the stage, but I got the shot!

To make my life a lot easier I plan on getting a new bag to make carrying the daily needs of a photographer a bit easier. Right now my bag holds almost all my equipment, awesome for traveling, not so awesome for day to day shooting. I plan on getting something that will simply hold the things I need for a day outing.
