Ingrid Michaelson @ Snug Harbor

On Saturday, March 6th I kinda sorta (;-D) dragged Scott to take me to see Ingrid Michaelson in concert at Staten Islands Snug Harbor - a venue we will be photographing an awesome wedding in October for our bride and groom-Rachel & Jeremy. Rachel is actually the one who introduced me to Snug Harbor. Snug Harbor is not only one of the most architecturally and historically significant sites in the country, it is a place where history, architecture, the visual and performing arts, environmental science included in performing arts all come together to provide a rich and powerful learning experience for audiences young and old.  Now, I am getting off point...lolol. Let me continue...

You see, I LOVE Ingrid. To me her voice encapsulates a realness and raw crisp energy that, if given the opportunity in the car alone, I try VERY hard to emulate myself...good thing you can't hear me! So along with Scott I took my next favorite thing, my camera, and while the concert played on I was able to move around the venue and capture some moments of Ingrid and the gang singing along. Underneath my viewfinder, all the while, I had a grin from ear to ear. I managed to combine  my two most favorite pass times - attending a concert AND photographing it! Ahhh, I love life!

Ingrid sings and makes us all laugh - she is one hysterically sarcastic chick! And so adorable too, in a geeky sorta way.

This is the outside of the Music Hall which is the 2nd oldest in NYC. I loved the way the tree limbs intricately decorate the columns with their lacy branches.

Ingrid sings all together with the band. You can definitely see they have a fabulous time together on tour!

For the grand finale Ingrid and everyone else switches places and plays a different instrument-she's on the drums...amazing talent there!
