2006 Year In Photos


By GREG MAKI

This year, the first year for Live-Metal.net, I had the opportunity to attend and photograph many concerts.
The following are my favorite photos of 2006, roughly in order of preference. Many of these shots decorate my walls.

Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf
February 28, 2006
Rams Head Live
Baltimore, Maryland

If you've seen Mosley perform, you know she pours everything she has into every word she sings. This shot, from the Snocore tour co-headlined by Shinedown and Seether, captures that more than any other photo I have taken of any other artist. Credit for that goes not to me but to the beautiful lighting and Mosley giving herself so completely to the moment. This is easily my favorite of all my photos.
