SXSW March 12, 2011 – Chris Cornell Powered Down by Nokia – Solo Acoustic Performance at The Belmont in Austin, TX. (http://sxsw.com/node/6955)
 
This photo was taken during the first days of SXSW my hometown of Austin, Texas. I was sitting in a movie theater about to watch the premier of a new film when a friend called and told me that Chris Cornell was playing an acoustic show down the street at The Belmont. Of course, I quickly left and headed straight for the show. We got in line and quickly made it up front to see Chris Cornell play live in all his glory. I snapped a few photos, here is one of the better ones.
 
Thank you for your consideration,
Matthew Comer

Hello Fabrice and everybody at TalentHouse,
 
I am so excited about winning this contest!! So so excited and really couldn’t believe it when reading this email and online announcement.
 
As excited, overwhelmed, appreciative, and honored I am for wining this contest to the Chris Cornell show Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday, November 26th; unfortunately I will be unable to represent TalentHouse and Such Good Photography at this event.
 
Shortly after my submission, I was informed by my employer of over 8 years that due to cost cutting measures I would be required to take off 5 mandatory unpaid days off between now and Dec 3. This combined with 2 unpaid holiday days off for Thanksgiving would put my family into a bind by additionally taking care of my own travel and accommodations from Austin to New Jersey.
 
Hopefully, the runner up will be as excited as me to have been bestowed this honor and would be more easily able attend the show and document this show with beautiful photography of the talented Chris Cornell. I hope that this can happen so that somebody else may enjoy this incredible opportunity.
 
Sincerely,
Matthew Comer

You’ve got me captured
I’m under your spell
I guess I’ll never learn

I have your picture
Yes I know it well
Another page is turned

Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell
From just a magazine

Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait
‘Til your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way
You can stop me now
As fine as you are

I wrote a letter
And told her these words
That meant a lot to me

I never sent it
She wouldn’t have heard
Her eyes don’t follow me

And while she watches
I can never be free

Such good photography

I’ll wait
‘Til your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way
You can stop me now
As fine as you are

(Guitar Solo)

You can’t imagine
What your image means
The pages come alive

Your magic free
To everyone who reads
Heartbreakin’ motor drive

Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell
From just a magazine
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait
‘Til your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way
You can stop me now
As fine as you are

I’ll wait
‘Til your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way
You can stop me now
As fine as you are
I’ll wait
