Melissa Tham: Falling in love again! Perogative of a Diva.

With several articles in the news paper about her CD release Falling in love again at the Sing Jazz Club

there is nothing that I can add in words about Melissa Tham that professionals have not already said and no doubt much better.

There are not many professional photographers interested in the type of events where I tend to catch musicians though, so my amateur perspective is still new to whom it may concern.

I went to Melissa’s CD launch on Thursday and did not take my camera. A decision I always seem to regret. Luckily for me there was a second chance on Saturday,

and again luckily for me she had again pulled her hair back in a quirky pony tail. Cheekbones like that you do not hide.

Having seen the Thursday show, I also figured out where I would get the best shots, I thought, behind her Maestro Mentor, Jeremy Monteiro. 

That was the spot where I hoped to catch the most meaningful glances, and I did. But as the stage lighting at Sing Jazz is still a bit awkward, I ended up facing possibly the brightest light. 

I stuck to my guns and got some great expressions but many got lost in translation between what was there and what my sensor registered. As I said amateur.   

Still I hope you will find these as enjoyable to view as I found it enjoyable to listen to Melissa on Thursday and come back on Saturday to “fall in love again”
