Bristol Street @ The Raw Radio X Charity Event


      A few weeks ago, RawRadioX.com hosted an event for to assist 4 Paws 1 Heart. 4 Paws 1 Heart is a legal 501(c)3 organization assisting in the welfare of animals in need of veterinary care and finding homes. 4 Paws 1 Heart also assists other rescue organizations with veterinary care for dogs and cats that would otherwise be euthanized. 

The night featured five local artists:
BLACKMAIL - WARHORSES - MOTOWN RAGE - BRISTOL STREET - STEVEN URENDA -


We would also like to thank the sponsors that were involved in this event:
- Woodward Avenue Brewers - Michigan Science Center - The Majestic - Emagine Theaters - Michigan Made Products - Just Baked - Zumba Mexican Grill -

 One of the artists featured at this show is the exemplary band, Bristol Street. I have followed them intently since their inception in September 2012. By carefully guiding them and arming them with the tools to coach themselves, they have evolved into an amazing five piece entertainment. Their growth was phenomenal.


        Another person I want to thank for assisting in the growth of Bristol Street is Rikki Roxx. He is the man who saw the potential in the band. He had so much faith in them, that he let them have their first show at New Way Bar in Ferndale. The whole night was amazing. I reconnected with old friends. I met new friends in the process. The entire experience from that night taught me, "Enjoy the Ride."



       The next major part I am overwhelmed with joy for is Evan Maguire. I met Evan years ago, but reconnected with him when he played a show at Chatters Bar. I knew from that night that Evan had a tremendous level of talent, and it was going to take him to great places in the future. To my surprise, I walk into a practice session to meet the fifth member a month and a half ago to see him there. I knew that once that happened, the band was complete. Now, it came full circle to see him with a group of entrepreneurial musicians looking to create their unique sound.


      Second is Matthew Debartolo. I emphasize to him many times how his bass is the heart of the rhythm for the band. His inner potential reflects in how hard it is to duplicate his raw talent. Over the year, his stage presence has grown exponentially with his talent. I am definitely looking forward to watching his growth over the next year.
          
      Finally, there is George Aneed. His showmanship is stellar as always. He has many life lessons to teach to the crowd at every show. I can feel it reflect in his music. His main desire is to reflect his message to the world by emphasizing the fun in life. We understand that life can be difficult sometimes. There will be setbacks in the road to success. As long as you keep a positive attitude, those small hurdles will mean nothing in the grand scheme of life. Enjoy the Ride.

       Ryan James and Cory Winkler, you both have my love too. I didn't have amazing pictures this time so I want to wait until the next show to do you justice with proper writing.

       If any other bands are looking for someone who can properly guide them to hone their sound (kind of like a live show coach) please feel free to e-mail Kenneth Boycott at kboycott3@gmail.com. I can discuss fees or alternatives to money if you are strapped for cash but still desire that proper guidance.

So While I Was at the Ren Cen

My friends noticed how cool the Ren Cen looked with a fog covering the upper half of the towers. So I took this picture on my way in. I'd say I'm quite pleased with the results. The only touch-ups I did were desaturation of the picture and increased the contrast to embolden the picture with a gloomy accent.

So My Sister Had Her Baby

Very easy picture to take. Gage was well lit under the bedding and just very photogenic <3 

This one was very easy as well. The light was towards my mother, and the lighting behind her helped illuminate her as well. 

Same thing as above, only it's my father and stepfather.

I remember seeing a picture like this online when I was looking for inspiring birth pictures to take before I headed over. I found one just like this and decided to replicate it. Overall, it turned out very well!

Incoming Wave of Photos

Here's a sneak peek of what's to come. This picture was a pain to wait for. I was waiting for the yellow strobe lights to light up Hoobastank at just the right time. Eventually I finally nailed it and came up with this picture. I was very pleased with the results. Enjoy!

Get In Touch With Nature!

 I saw the pollen in the air, and instantly thought of a girl when I saw this. I have no attractions or anything to her, it just made me laugh because she rants about allergies all the time. I thought it was hilarious to take this picture and share it. Her reaction was priceless.

 There was a sense of history behind this tree when I saw it fell. It was rooted into the ground so well that it pulled this much dirt with it. It was strange to sense that much power in this old tree.

I ran into some strangers in the woods when I took this picture. They told me where I could find this flower, and we walked about a half mile back to the garden to find this. It was a beautiful flower and worth the trek back.

Get In Touch With Nature Again!

Did you know dandelions were used to cure infections and liver issues in Europe, North America, and China? Something to consider next time you see a dandelion you want to utilize <3

The poor girl that got stung by the wasp =( 

Did you know Sandhill Cranes have the longest fossil records to date, clocking in at ten million years?
