Hem - Freehold, NJ - July 1, 2007

on july 1, 2007, hem played in a unique place; a wonderful garage converted into a photo studio and temporarily made into a performance space by freehold photographer mark costanzo and his wife elaine. for this show the band performed stripped down to its essential core of four; dan messe, steve curtis, gary maurer, and sally ellyson. sonically wonderful in its own way, even after seeing them with an orchestra a few days before, they ran though an terrific set with some of my favorite songs. i even had a fun seat, perched up on the storage loft where i could get some of the best pictures i've yet taken of them. contributing to the intimacy of the day was a pot luck after the show. how often does that happen? :-)

all of these shots were taken during the performance with the exception of the first shot of photographer mark costanzo taking a shot of the band in his studio.
