Take Action! Tour 2009 Pictures

I recently had the chance to photograph the Take Action! Tour at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California featuring Anarbor, Every Avenue, Meg and Dia, Breathe Carolina, and Cute Is What We Aim For. Due to some venue difficulties and camera difficulties, I was only able to shoot Anabor and Every Avenue. The House of Blues also made all photographers shoot from the side of the pit rather than in front, which made the lighting very difficult. Because of this, all the pictures are in black and white. Head over to the photos section to check out the pictures.
