Earthquaker Day

Earthquaker is a guitar pedal company that makes their pedals right here in Akron. Last Saturday they hosted "Earthquaker Day" - a festival with vendors, food, beer, a riff contest and great bands at the shop. I rode my bike there and captured some of the bands with my Minolta and some Kodak Tri-X. I was wondering if the photos would come out in the tough lighting conditions. The bands played in a tent that the sun dropped behind throughout the day. I was impressed that I managed mostly good exposure and that I hit the manual focus on a lot of the shots.

I tend to think Earthquaker is under-appreciated around here outside of the music community. There is so much talk about entrepreneurship in town and Jamie Stillman is employing 42 people(mostly musicians and artists) right in downtown. Their product is world renowned.
