Hallelujah! - The Cross Festival

aus-main.jpg


I traveled to Austin, Texas yesterday to DJ at the Zac Posen fashion show. When I arrived at the Four Season's hotel, they informed me that my room wasn't ready for check-in. I decided to take a walk near the lake that was located behind the hotel. While walking, I kept hearing someone sing. Hell, I had nothing to do for the next hour, so I decided to walk in the direction of the singing. The closer I got, the more I was excited about finding out what was going on. When I finally reached the location of the singing, I found out that it was a gospel festival taking place called "The Cross".

They greeted me openly and asked for me to join in the celebration. It was pretty interesting. It was almost like Woodstock, except everyone there was high on Christ! While watching a performance, there was a gentleman the would throw up his hand and scream out "hallelujah"! He did this after every song. Well, I decided that I would wait for him to do it again and photograph him from an angle that would capture the clouds. I must have waited for 20 minutes. When he finally decided to scream "hallelujah", this time he raised both hands, and I finally got the shot I was patiently waiting for!

Hallelujah!
Enjoy

I live just north of Austin (Round Rock) it is beautiful out here and the people are beautiful as well. I am thinking of taking up photography as a hobby...you have some very beautiful images here...keep it up!

Beautiful. I really appreciate the story behind the image.

Not to be an ass or anything, but unless the camera man had a film camera, he was taping, not filming. I'm sorry...this is just one of those little common terms that people confuse that erks me. I shouldn't let it:)

Ah, you got your money shot with the hands to heaven. Nice composition.
