I'm Not a Pilot at Regner Park

As many of you know, just one of the numerous fun things to do in Milwaukee during the summer is listen to live music, often for free and outdoors. While I've heard a number of bands here over the past few years, most often I'm checking out an event because I'm Not a Pilot is there. The inaugural Homegrown festival at Regner Park in West Bend, WI last month was no exception.

Does anyone else like to get out and listen to live music during the summer?

Thing #1,428 that I don't want to admit to anyone: I'm still editing pictures from summer 2014. Remember how one of my unofficial goals this year was to edit as many 2014 pictures as possible by spring 2015? Here we are in the first week of May and I'm still going through 2014 pictures. However, I've made a lot of progress AND am doing well with the second part of the goal, which is to stay ahead on 2015 editing.

Anyway, going through summer pictures makes me so excited about summer. I know that fall is the trendy season right now, but seriously nothing makes me happier than spring and summer. Today I'm sharing a little batch of black and white edits from one of my favorite nights of summer 2014. Enjoy.

What are you looking forward to this summer?

I is for I'm Not a Pilot

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

If you've been following this blog the past couple years, you've probably already heard me talk about this local band I'm Not a Pilot that kind of became one of my favorite bands overnight a year and a half ago. If you haven't already checked out the website, get over there and listen to some of their music. You can listen via their YouTube channel. Today I'm sharing photos from their performances at Chill on the Hill and Summerfest this summer.

 

Select members of the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra performed with them at Summerfest.

You can also see just a few of the photos that I took of I'm Not a Pilot last summer here and here.

Check out what the other Alphabe Thursday participants posted for the letter I this week right here!

photo share: local band

Last week I cheated again and edited a newer set of RAW photos, largely because I wanted to post some of them here sooner rather than later. I could have just edited a handful of them, but I edited the whole set. Many of you have already heard me talk about one of my favorite bands, I'm Not a Pilot, over and over again the past 8 months. Jake and I got to hear them live a number of times this summer, and I took photos at several of these concerts. One of the most interesting aspects of these shows has been the audiences. I've been really surprised at the variety. This particular concert was swarming with kids and young parents. If you're curious about how I got so close to all of these kids I don't know, there were literally dozens of them running around everywhere for the whole hour and a half of music. Enjoy.

Have you been going to any concerts this summer?
