<p>Along with these photos from the 2010 Maha Music Festival, you&#8217;ll notice a new, streamlined view in which you don&#8217;t have to go to a separate page to open the gallery&#8230;it opens here on the same page in an overlay!  I&#8217;m in the process of updating archived posts to work this way; and if you go to the <a href="http://www.kaylabenker.com/bands" target="_self">list of all artists</a>, those galleries should also open in the same page.  Fun, fun, fun.</p>
<p>Anyway, this year&#8217;s Maha Music Festival was an awesome event that really gave me hope for the cultural future of Omaha.  There was a great mix of local and national acts and tickets were a bargain ($35) considering the diversity and talent of the artists involved.  <a rel="shadowbox" href="http://kaylabenker.com/photos/maha">Click here</a> to open the gallery of 30 photos from three of the acts (Ben Kweller, The Faint, and Spoon) I got close enough to photograph!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="width: 300px;" title="andrew bird" src="http://www.kaylabenker.com/photos/andrewbird2/images/IMG_5162_marked.jpg" alt="andrew bird" /><img class="alignright" style="width: 300px;" title="andrew bird" src="http://www.kaylabenker.com/photos/andrewbird2/images/IMG_5238_marked.jpg" alt="andrew bird" /></p>
<p>Wow, it&#8217;s been over a year since I last uploaded the site.  No, I wasn&#8217;t dead.  No, I didn&#8217;t stop photographing concerts.  Yes, I was a lazy pile.  I think I have pictures from about 15 shows; I&#8217;ll try to upload the best 5-7 or so.  Or maybe I&#8217;ll get bored doing actual work and post more than that.</p>
<p>Just so you know, the site was sketchily hacked or something a while back and my Google results were all messed up, but I&#8217;ve got it all cleared up now.  There is no malware hosted on this site&#8230;I promise.</p>
<p>Also, if you looked at this site before, you caught a glimpse of the only live pictures of Monsters of Folk on the internet!  Unfortunately, now there are hundreds of others.</p>
<p>Anyway, on to the photos.  You can see 29 pictures from the Andrew Bird show at Slowdown on February 28, 2009 <a href="http://www.kaylabenker.com/photos/andrewbird2" rel="shadowbox">HERE</a>.  I don&#8217;t know what was up at this show, but I did some really weird stuff which resulted in lots of (intentionally?) blurry pictures.  I really like how a few of them turned out though/</p>
