As a professional photographer, I am often called upon by professional organizations to photograph those special occasions that need preserving in a picture. Imagine my surprise last week when I was called by the Omaha Symphony to come and photograph a concert on Saturday night. I thought to myself, well I can go after the wedding and take a few minutes to photograph the featured artist. I entered the Performing Arts Center unassuming who I would be photographing. To my surprise it was Dennis DeYoung of Styx fame. People, you need to know something about me…I am a huge Styx fan from days past. So when I started shooting images I was totally in awe of Mr. DeYoung’s singing voice I had to sit down for the remainder of the concert and take in his melodic interpretation of songs I remember from the 80’s! The only problem about this was I forgot to call my wife, Joan, who is even a bigger Styx fan than I am. I sat there with an extra ticket not even thinking to call her to come and join me for what I would consider one of the better concerts I have had the opportunity to attend. Next time…I will be sure to call Joan. I’m sure she won’t let me forget this for some time to come.
