Velvet moments: a journey to the center of the photograph of the week – Benicassim Festival

This week was my last Velvet Moment during the journey, Benicassim Festival in Spain, where I had the password type in the course of the performance of the photographers pit. It was an incredible experience and mashed step is likely to be 30 000 wild fans behind the us in the band. My original focus was intended (Vampire Weekend was run) in the frequency spectrum of the images, but as the song came to an end to, fans went crazy Jumping and cheering. Energy is almost tangible. I swung around a bright blue hue becomes a stage lights than the granting of a blue glow during the unworldly gigs. This picture I took away from the deleted one of my favourites absolute festivals – I like it just the way is, without a digital enhancements. Kisses for wearing a girl goes to the mighty Orange Hat!:-)

What a beautiful room!

Thanks Sarah. Yes, I really liked the Oriental style. They call it the Straits style which is a mix of Chinese and European influences. Absolutely gorgeous!

Cheers,
Keith

Velvet moments: a journey to the center of the photograph of the week – Millau Viaduct, France

This is incredible-I think you really should be published in the "Plane views" photo book! Not a joke! (Publishers, are reading this???)

Fantastic, as always!

Velvet moments: a journey to the center of the photograph of the week – Hey! This is my Street!

Only famous people have named their right in the streets? Completely. I was walking down the street in the heart of Berlin, in the context of this around and stumbled on the street with my name: Keith Strasse or Keith Street! OK, it was named after me, but was rather diluted to see my name is not on the street sign!:-)

Have you ever become a street or the place where it has the same name as you? If you have done it in a photo, you're most welcome to send me keith velvetescape [ad] [dot] com. Paste your name, blog URL, and the Twitter name (if applicable).These new blog post to include the. Cheers!
