Shoot for the Moon.
Hopefully, Santa was able to fit that 400mm AF f2.8 down the chimney the other night and you woke up yesterday awakened with a new spirit concerning the pursuit of the still image. Regardless, here's the second photography installment of the year in live music in Columbia, South Carolina: May through August (my gift to those who had too much Pabst and Fireball to remember the shows).
