Rosie Jack and the Bangtails – Christmas at the Vandiver II
Jan 3, 2026
Well, this was going to be just two postings but has turned into three. I need to include a few cool shots of Rogue connected people in the audience – I’m tagging those on at or near the end of the postings. Most this time are a little brighter, barely. You can see that most of the lighting is in the back – reversing the norm and making it easier to catch back people than front. Arrrrgh. Again, while Rogue performance shooting is a matter of exposure compromises, Rosie Jack shooting is more like pulling teeth, most exposures are beyond the iso 12,800 mark – and those that aren’t completely are partly. Then again, it’s like a hard puzzle, I love it…


Caleb on drums – seldom changes expression – true concentration / Rogue member Arianna’s parents caught me aiming the camera at them while they were dancing…


This shot, besides catching something of the fun the Bangtails are having along with the audience, demonstrates the lighting trailing off up front…

Actually, with most of the Rogue Swan and Rosie Jack work, the Facebook postings are more important, in the moment, than keeping up the Blog/Project Journal – they are a local phenomenon.
Now all I have to do is work up five more… then I will add them all to the Rosie Jack folio HERE
