Jaggery has just released a lovely new album, “Upon a Penumbra“. The release party was unlike any show I had been to before. Not only was it a wonderful performance, but much of it was also in the dark because power went out. That didn’t stop Jaggery from playing, and I don’t think a single audience member left either.
Judging from the timestamps on my photos (what, you thought I stopped shooting just because it was almost completely dark?), the first time power went out it was down for only about 5 minutes.
I don’t usually make a big deal out of exposure information, but the above photo being 30s @ f/1.2, ISO 25600 is worthy of note. Power came back up for a while though…
And then power went out again.
For about 40 minutes.
The show must go on (lit by cellphones)!
Then, another first for a Jaggery show – Mali went crowd surfing! I don’t have photos though, because I was busy holding her up… I’m sure there are some out there though. Right as she landed on the stage again, lights came back on.

The power going out sounds like a fun challenge. : )
It takes a special kind of stubborn to keep photographing in the dark :)
(and get halfway-usable results, too!)
