Digital photography

i'm sure a band is gonna be really pissed that you're sharing your interest in their music on facebook where you have hundreds or even possibly thousands of prospective viewers.

I get that its hard to work in the gig photography business, but being this sacred about it is a little ridiculous man, just let it be in the knowledge that you're taking decent images.

It's not the sharing that's the issue, it's the staring out into a sea of cameras instead of faces that's a little disconcerting.

I hear some of the points you're trying to make,
but in the end it pretty much breaks down to "well, deal with it, dude".

This is the 21st century, everybody has cameraphones / iPads / DSLR's / whatever,
they are fucking using them and it will be on some google or yahoo service an instant later.

I realise I sound sour, I am sour. I just think that being asked not to come to gigs with the express purpose of taking lots of photos is a perfectly reasonable request, and that it is in fact the punters who whine about not being able to use a proper camera that should just 'deal with it'.

I love photography. I'm glad that everyone does. I also love taking pictures with my phone and sharing and stuff. It's just a lot of the time I envy the people who can just enjoy a show or an act or whatever without the need to take pictures, but they're doing it anyway!
