On Friday, September 15th, I headed to the Diag to photograph my friends’ band,
Shmongo, at an event hosted by Stamp Nation, a student organization devoted
to student musicians. Shmongo is composed of five students in the school of
Music, Theatre & Dance: Geoff Brown, Aaron Willette, Jacob Suagrman, Ryan
Cox and Joey Fortino. Having a large DSLR camera in my hands didn’t stop me
from dancing to the music. It is almost impossible not to have a great time at a
Shmongo concert because the band never fails to create a special experience for
its audience.

first song of the night.
