Watson-Owens Engagement
Posted by rjdesign | Filed under Shoots
Chris’ friend Scot Watson frequents our home when he’s not working one of his two jobs while bearing a 19 credit hour class load – we’ve become very fond of him – he’s a good kid. So last week, when he asked if I would take some engagment images for he and his finaceé Amanda Owens – “why soitinlee” I replied. Ready for the “…no good deed…” portion of the equation?

Captured George Thorogood (Bad to the Bone, Who Do You Love) at Houston’s House of Blues last Thursday. Photo credentials required shooting from the sound board (approx. 60ft. from stage).

I couldn’t have been more please with its performance – take a look -R-

It was actually to James’ benefit as Bryan provided him with some solicited advice. Read the rest of this entry »

Last Saturday, Yes (Steve Howe pictured) returned to Houston for a performance at the House of Blues. They had originally booked late last year, but due to bassist Chris Squires’ medical emergency, they had to cancel. According to the Rocky Mountain Music BLOG… “Rumors are fairly rampant on line – it’s been said that Chris Squire had blood clot(s) in his leg, that he felt numbness during a soundcheck in Houston, which lead to him being hospitalized (where, presumably, he remains).” -R-
