turned out, each stop on tour was cray busy and i never got to pull out my new toy and work on taking photos in a concert setting. so i vowed to bring it to all the remaining concerts i was going to this year. but then i got really insecure because i wasn't overly sure how to work my camera and other people seeing me fail is probably my least favorite thing ever so i would make excuses like "it's a sold out show so the club is gonna be packed and i won't get to move around and get good shots anyway," or "it's raining and we're walking to the show," and not bring along my camera so i wouldn't have other concert photographers see my subpar photos.
that has hurt no one but myself.
the other day LIGHTS announced this via her facebook page:
Calling all budding photographers!
On the current Lights tour we are offering up one "Lights Live Pass" per show for a photographer to have ALL ACCESS to shoot the performance. Beyond the standard photo pass, this photographer will be permitted to shoot the entire performance from any sight line, including side-stage!
To enter, please email lightslivepass@gmail.com with the date of the show in the subject line, with a sample of your work. Preference will be given to experienced photographers. One photographer will be contacted per city, the week of the show, to be given a pass.
yeah, notice how that 11/28 location is minneapolis, mn? did you also notice that the mowgli's are supporting LIGHTS on this tour? and the fact that it's at a venue that i have not spent nearly enough time at is just icing on the cake. but guess how many quality pictures i have to submit? you guessed it. zero. so it looks like i will not even be in the running for the lights live pass...and all because i'm too stubborn about looking bad at something in front of others.
i lose.
