Alex’s Benefit Show
14 Dec
Hi friends! Last night I had the pleasure of taking photos and video at a show that was put on to benefit my good friend, Alex. Alex was hit by a drunk driver a couple months ago and is in rehab in Atlanta, Georgia. (I also wrote about it here) My buddy Andrew put together this show to raise money to help Alex and his family with the wicked medical bills and other needs. The show was a serious success!
A ton of money was raised! I was supposed to sell prints of my photography at the show, but I forgot, so I’m now going to open it up to the blog world. If you’d like to donate to Alex and his family, please email me at carpentern2@gmail.com and I will send you a print of any photo off my flickr site, and I’ll throw in some delicious, baked vegan treats as well!
Anyway, as I said, the show was one heck of a success. It was pretty much my first time really taking video or photos at a show, and I think I did a good job!
And of course, if you’d like to see video of the bands, check them out! I’ve got video of Fugue, Signal The Escape, Sleeping At The End Of The World, and Joe Ballaro.
I’ll be back with some food soon, I hope. I’ve been having laptop/camera/memory card issues. My camera/laptop ate a ton of video and photos from yesterday. Boohoo!
really glad you were able to raise more $ for your friend. hope he recovers soon!
What a great fundraiser!
great idea for a fundraiser, i hope your friend is doing well! great pics btw, i especially love the 2nd one
You are SO talented! Thank you for sharing these pictures, I love them all! Well done.
These photos are incredible.
I’m so happy (and impressed!) with how much you’ve been able to do for Alex. And gorgeous prints!
That’s so great of you guys to do that for Alex and his family and your photos are beautiful, you’re extremely talented.
I love to hear that fundraisers like this have such a great turnout! Your pictures came out awesome!
I love the closeup of the guitarist and the singer right behind him, so cool!
Incredible!
I wish the best for Alex, take care Nicole! Happy holidays!
Nicole,
So sorry to hear about Alex. Those pictures are fantastic, what a great cause.
It is so great how much you are doing for your friend. I am sure you will hear from me soon as I would love to donate.
By the way, your link to your flickr sight goes to a different page…(I just took off the “s” and it went to the correct one!)
Oops!! Thank you for the heads up! I always forget if mine is with an s or not
WOW. these photos are so so beautiful!
I wanted to go to that show so badly but I had to work. A kid from one of my courses at HCC was playing. I’m really glad to hear that the turn out was so great though.
girl you are a KILLER photographer!!
Thank you!
These pictures are amazing! I love going to shows and you seemed to capture the intimacy

Your photos look great!
this horrible accident just happened to a friend of mine also in Georgia. She was jogging and hit by a car early in the morning in September. She was in critical condition for about 1.5 months and unconcsious but now struggling to eat and talk.
I will keep your friend in my thoughts as well and feel so inspired that you were able to pull this together for him and reallly got to make something work to help him!
Congrats girlie!
I will keep your friend in my thoughts also- that sounds like a horrible, horrible accident.
Beautiful pics!
Your pictures are nothing short of stunning!
