A tipsy and emotional Brian Sella ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The Front Bottoms at Cat’s Cradle in Carborro, NC on Saturday May 14th ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Sometimes, after my post concert high and the hour and a half drive home, I get on my laptop and immediately upload them. Every time I look at the photos of my night, I get “all choked up” and can’t believe I get to do what I love. Even though I’m doing it for experience right now going to shows I know I wanted to go to anyways, I know that somewhere along the line I might actually get paid to do this. I have weddings that I really enjoy, and tbh I wouldn’t do jobs I know I couldn’t put my heart into but there is a whole different element of, to a certain extent, being apart of the artist process at a performance by my favorite musicians, as distant as it may be, that makes my soul happy beyond belief. I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK only recently moving down to NC for my husbands work. We’ve been here a little more than two years now and I’ve had more opportunities to go to shows in six months than I did in my entire teen years. I mean I waited seven years to see Say Anything and saw them for the first time with the Front Bottoms on their 2014 Hebrews tour. The only way I was able to connect with bands that I loved was by videos and photography since most of the time I was about 1000 miles away from the nearest concert. I just want my work to do the same for others. Spread the art because someone out there is relying on it to feel a connection to their favorite artists and be inspired to express themselves. Sorry not sorry for the sappy ass post. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #thefrontbottoms #poppunk #concertphotography #carborro #concertphotographer (at Cat's Cradle)
