This is the first of my 2014 “Year In Review” articles. As with my articles in 2013 and 2012, I reviewed a sampling of my concert photos from 2014 and compiled some of my favorites and stopped when I hit 100 photos in total. Please also check out my companion 2014 Year in Review article, which covers my Top 10 Albums, Top 10 Songs, Top 10 Concerts and more.
As with past years, not all of the concerts that I attended are represented below, as opportunities for the best photos are not always present, and there are a variety of factors in obtaining nice photographs, from equipment to lighting to position to the subject… but I thought that republishing some of the ones I’m personally most fond of would be a nice way to say farewell to 2014.
Shooting one thousand to a few thousand photos per show and attending 60-something concerts this year means well over 100,000 photos shot… obviously I can’t go through all of them but this is a good representation.
These are not published in any particular ranking, though I grouped photos from the same show together (they are generally ordered by band/artist name)…
