On Saturday November 17, I was lucky enough to be
able to shoot the The Policefor the third time on
this world tour. It almost didnt happen, earlier that
week on Monday my cameras digital display failed to
operate but it could still take pictures so I decided
to shoot through this problem and got approved for the
credentials on Thursday.

I arrived in Atlanta at 7:00, thirty minutes prior to seeing Stings son Joe Sumners
band Fiction Plane which was really good and he looks
just like his dad. First being at Bonnaroo this past
June and again at Live Earth in New York, but this
time I was able to see them in a venue where all the
fans are die hard Police fans. It was great to see
thirty and forty year-olds screaming their heads of like
their daughters trying to get in to see Hannah
Montana. They started their set the same as the last
two concerts I have seen with Message in a Bottle
followed by “Synchronicity II”, and the minute after
that song ended I was escorted out of the photo pit
and walked away from one of Atlantas best concerts
this fall, wishing I could have seen a little more but
was grateful I have pictures to show all of you here. Until next time!
