The year was 1992 and here I was listening for the first time ever to the Siren, Tori Amos. It’s been almost 31 years since I first became a fan of this woman listening over and over again to Little Earthquakes.
Just over 30 years since I first heard this track named “Silent All These Years’, instantly falling in love with not just Tori’s voice, but the voice she gave so many of us. While it was not her first debut, it was certainly the album that made me a Tori fan, so much so that she helped inspire my red hair. I don’t use the term “Siren” lightly though this woman has earned it for me. I had to see her live and more still, I had to try and capture it.
I was blessed with the opportunity to capture her perform her magic at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts this last June and for me, it was indeed a night I will treasure. She was everything I could have imagined and positively spectacular. The best part about it for me was that not only did I have the honor of capturing some beautiful images, but the universe was also so kind to place me in the path of a couple of beautiful ladies that gifted me with a balcony seat ticket so that I can continue to watch the show when my work was done.
It was really a great night for me both on a personal level and from a portfolio standpoint as I was able to sit back and enjoy the beauty of her music. Now, this post would not be a post on my blog without my top 5 of the evening so here they are in all their magic. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy her and of course, there are a few more images to be found on my Facebook page so you all can see just how cute she is.
Until next time,
Life is fleeting. It is to be enjoyed. – Tori Amos
