3rd Annual Punk Rock Picnic shot by Orange County Photographer Greg Garcia
These images are from the 3rd Annual Punk Rock Picnic held this year Hidden Valley Irvine at Verizon
. I had originally planned to see the Bastard Winos
at this show but due to a line up conflict, they were unable to attend. After reading that Duane Peters
and the Exploding Fuck Dolls
as well as the Dickies
were part of the days entertainment I decided to attend anyway. In my formal life as an recording engineer, I had recorded the EF Dolls
for some their early cuts on Monster Records and releases on Disaster Records. So, I thought it would be cool to catch up with some old friends I hadn't seen in a while and the Dickies... I still have their vinyl records in my collection and I used to listen to them in High School, so I was looking forward to their set as well.
No fancy tech here. Today I brought the little gun, my Canon G9
and of course, shot in existing light. I obviously had a little fun in post kicking up contrast in PhotoShop
. Otherwise, these are pretty straight forward captures. I chose the Canon G9 as my point and shoot because it has just about all the manual control ability of a DSLR minus the lens options and it captures at 12.1 megapixels. Not bad for a little guy. I can manually adjust on the fly with live preview or I can always view the histogram for a more accurate read of my scene. I will post more images from this camera in the near future and I'm sure you'll be surprised of the quality.

So I'm assuming this was a non-union, non-IATSE gig because I don't know anyone who was working Verizon last weekend. I'll be contacting our business agent immediately. Was this show in the parking lot or somewhere off in the hills? Just wondering. Great pics Greg regardless:)
