American Idol winner Taylor "Soul Patrol" Hicks graced the Philippine shores for a series of free concerts courtesy of the Ayala Malls. I happened to catch the second installment at the Greenbelt 3 open area and saw an American Idol in the flesh.
The concert started late by half an hour. I arrived two and a half hours before the event, hoping to get a good vantage point for the "free" concert. But the event wasn't free at all, you had to secure a ticket and to get one, you have to know someone (that is, from the organizers or any of the major sponsors). Shame that the guards are on their usual bulldog mentality, gnarling and barking at anyone near the concert grounds.
Anyhow, I managed to secure on the right flank of the stage, about 15 meters from Taylor. My 18-135mm Nikkor lens struggled to focus on the salt and pepper haired Bammer. The white fabric covering the scaffolding didn't help at all with my strobes so the resulting white-outs. Hope you enjoy viewing the pics though.
