I found the harlot that decided she was too good for everyone else (Madame please excuse my anger). Turns out she took photos for Time Out magazine. Let us take a look shall we? (Time Out magazine, if you see this know I am a better photographer than this classy lady and you can reach me at arwinnqhawkhauser@gmail.com I will take quality photos of anything you want to put in front of me. I have samples.)

Of the many many many more photos taken, 9 were featured. A goodly amount. Most of the photos feature a lead singer as washed out as his vintage sweatshirt. None of the photos capture anywhere near the actual lighting conditions, which other live venue blogs don’t seem to have trouble doing.
I don’t mean to be an old curmudgeon. But this person was directly blocking my view of the band and I was there first. And this is the product. Cheap shots I could have taken with my point-and-shoot. Next time try to get a high angle, or at the least TRY ANOTHER LOCATION!!

PS: Those gents in the ties were pretty awesome drunkards who knew all the words and if I were in a band, they are the ones who would make it worth it for me.
