Joanne Juskus of Telesma sings during their Levitt Pavilion performancei in the Musikfest Cafe.

Telesma is a hard act to categorize, best described as New Age Rock their music is an aural and visual assault on the senses. Their fusion of world music borrows aspects from a variety of different genres to embody a unique sound. They performed their Levitt Pavilion concert in the Musikfest Cafe at ArtsQuest Center on July 23, 2011. ArtsQuest was able to move the concert indoors to avoid the 100 degree heat. Of the six Levitt Pavilion shows I've seen in Bethlehem, Pa. they gave the most dynamic and captivating performance.

Tre Williams sings with The Revelations at the Levitt Pavilion Steel Stacks on the ArtsQuest campus.

On July 7, 2011 The Revelations featuring Tre Williams played a live concert at the Levitt Pavilion Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa.. Tre Williams and the Revelations gave a passionate performance despite being challenged by ominous skies and some raindrops. The sparse crowd due to the challenging weather allowed me to have front row seat and shoot photos at will. The Revelations featuring Tre Williams merge blues, funk, jazz and rock & roll to generate a dynamic and soulful sound. They played songs like 'Let's Straighten It Out', 'Everybody Knows', 'Heavy Metal Blues' and more from their album 'The Bleeding Edge'.

I recently began exploring HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography and am quickly becoming a huge fan of it. I was at a 100 Years of Chevrolet car show held on the ArtsQuest campus in Bethlehem Pa. on July 2 taking photos for Bethlehem Patch and took the time to take some extra photos to turn into HDR images. These are some of my early attempts at HDR photos. I'm very pleased at the results from these and plan on turning some into prints. I'll be on the lookout for other car shows to do more HDR photography at.
