Don't Look Back in Anger

These New Puritans, Madrid 2013

A friend of mine once made a comment that Kaisa you are a street photographer and a mutual friend of ours is a concert photographer. It's been haunting me, because I have thousands of concert photos on my hard drive. It's something I love to do and in a way have been doing for many years. Extremely poorly in the past and extremely rarely these days. Foremost 'cos I don't end up going to concerts (on my own) that often and somehow taking photos is a solitary thing in so many (good) ways. So here I am looking back and my worst and best and mediocre. But always with a feeling. I might not often recognise songs and artists (looking apologetically at my weekly music quiz teammates), but you know... music is life!

Way back when digital camera was a pipe dream for me. In all honesty, shooting concert photos on colour film was a nightmare and I would assume it still would be except I would have some experience to make adjustments on a go.

The Crash, Helsinki 2004

Poorly. With a flash. First digital years. I have forgotten that guy's name. He was a fun singer-songwriter from Australia. I remember seeing him earlier also in my university town. I had perm(!). I danced.
