Rock and Roll Part 2 (1/15)
2011-10-25
I
received the middle finger more times in the past week than ever before
in my life. I shot an alt rock show, a rap show, a metal show, and a
pop-rock show all within a week's time. Most of the middle fingers came
at the rap and metal show.
I feel like up until this
point in my career, I have really been striving to diversify my shooting
in terms of subject matter or genre. Like anyone pursuing their
passion, I was searching desperately for my voice, and was operating
under the 'try everything once' (or twice or three times) mentality. I
think as I round about the 8 year mark of shooting basically every
single day, I am finally starting to find that voice, and that voice is
in rock and roll photography.
Why it took me so long to
figure this out, I will never know, I mean, music, live music, is one of
my very favorite things in the world, probably second to only
photography. Who knows though, maybe by next week I will
have moved on to taking photographs of people's dogs.
