A year ago today I started The Unplugged Blog as a quick way to talk about and share the images I had recently captured. My first blog post shared some images from the Lewis Watson gig at the Exeter Phoenix - you can read it here.

One year and 24 blog posts later I've shared images from The South, The Boomtown Rats, Europe, Grandmaster Flash and UB40! It's been a blast.

For those who read my blog on a regular basis you'll know that I like to share my images as soon as I can. And while I will post images direct and live from a gig on my Twitter feed, you can't beat the quality of a fully processed image from the computer. So when I get back from a gig the first thing I do is catalog and select my best images. I will then normally select one or two of my best images from the shoot to share on my blog. It's important to share some images while the gig is still fresh in everyone's mind!

So to celebrate The Unplugged Blog's first birthday I've collated a selection of some of my favorite images. Not only are there images from previous blog posts but I've included some images from gigs before I'd even started the blog. So have a good look through and you might see some images previously unshared!

I hope you enjoyed this selection of images, I certainly enjoyed taking them. Remember to keep checking my Twitter feed and The Unplugged Blog for all the latest images!

See you next time!

I was really looking forward to the Evil Scarecrow gig at the Exeter Phoenix last night. As I always do I did a little research into the bands that I'll be shooting and from what I could see they looked likely to put on a great show. I was not disappointed! In fact all the bands had great stage presence which made my job of capturing images that little bit easier. Expect to see a great review of the entire gig from my friends over at MusicMuso really soon.

As I always like to do here on The Unplugged Blog, here are some images of the gig hot from my editing desk.

First up were mighty Embers of Eden.

Demons of Old Metal were up next and they really kicked things up.

And finally the epic and highly entertaing Evil Scarecrow!

Well that's it from me for now. Remember to keep an eye out on my Twitter feed for images that I post live from gigs. I'll see you next time on The Unplugged Blog!

The Unplugged Blog is One Year Old!
