Via this Seth Saith blog, augmented by my Facebook page--on which I share everything I write here, post my daily 6word Portraits and share various other thoughts, inanities and photographs--any who cares, or even doesn't, can know of every performance I see, including full reviews and Best of 2018 lists.
Theoretically, you would already know that my life largely revolves around friends, family--though I tend not to photograph either so much--rock concerts, theater, travel, art museums, movies, sports, other forms of culture and enlightenment, constant exploration and dining out.
2018 wasn't much different, and as the image above denotes, I ventured to Machu Picchu in Peru, as well as Boston and Milwaukee. But I also tried to make the most of my time at home, whether literally within my condo in a suburb of Chicago, or in pursuing all that the great Windy City has to offer.
Unlike my rash of previous Best of 2018 posts, this one isn't a competitive category and just tries--via some largely randomly chosen photos that I took (or a few I had taken of me)--to highlight my year.
Because it's rightfully taboo to take photos of theatrical performances, the plethora I attended won't be featured here--see my lists of Best Plays and Best Musicals--but I'll begin with some photos from some of the Concerts I caught. (I'm also not a big selfie taker, but go here if you really need to see some from over the years.)
The above pix represent U2, Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, David Byrne, Depeche Mode, Arcade Fire, Elton John and Pearl Jam. Just below is one of me with rocker Willie Nile, followed by a few other famous folks:
