The John Reilly Band of Auburn, NY

Saturday night I took a new photo of John's band to use for P.R. and announcement flyers. We were at Dilaj's Motor Inn on route 34 on the other side of Auburn because the guys were gigging there that night. We decided the lighting would be much better outside. Great decision! Look at that sunset background. I also used the photo in a new business card design for the band. It was another fun night. Lots of dancers on the floor.

The following afternoon they had a gig at a birthday party. The people in attendance really seemed pleased and happy the John Reilly Band was the entertainment for the party. John plays standards, rock, and country from mostly the 50's to 80's eras. He also has a few of his own originals that the people like to hear. They also love to hear his saxophone playing. He sings, plays the guitar and the saxophone, and writes his own music--what a talented man! Course I'm just a little bit prejudiced...possibly.

Some of my recent photos

Here are some photos I've taken within the past month. These next two pictures were taken in Skaneateles. The gentleman was from the Binghamton area. He had two schnauzers with him--a male and female (mother and son I believe he said).
(1) The mother "gave him a kiss".
(2) Shows how he trains them to kiss him. Look closely at his mouth and you will see he is holding a treat between his lips. He usually holds the treat out of sight to the side of his face, but it wasn't working this particular time. (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)
(3) Duck that had been hoping for a handout from tourists.
(4) Anonymous couple enjoying the ducks in Skaneateles.
(5) Two shetland ponies that live across the road from the Weedsport Airport.
(6) Dog (afghan?) that was playing in the yard of a home near the Weedsport Airport. The photo was taken from a distance away, using the 12X zoom on my camera.
Photos (7 to 11) were also taken at the Weedsport Airport.
(12) Siberian Husky that belonged to one of the people enjoying John's band (John Reilly Band from Auburn, NY) when they played at the Belvedere on State Street in Auburn on September 29th. Check out the "watch eye" heterochromia iridis. The owner told me the dog has papers and is available for stud service, so contact me if you'd like to get in touch with the owner.
(13) Young heifer that appears to be showing off her new "pierced earrings."
(14) Evening countryside view from Gahweiler Road in Niles, NY.
(15) Roadside view of farm animals.
(16) Farm country.
(17) Sunset from Gahweiler Road in Niles, NY.
(18) Puffball. Note the size compared to the hand!
(19) Same puffball.
(20) My friend's flowering plants adorning her front porch area.
(21) Same friend's dog Zoe.

My Latest Accomplishment

I took a video with my SONY DSC-H5 camera at one of John's gigs (John Reilly Band from Auburn, NY) on June 22, 2007. I created an edited down-sized movie from it. Check it out:
