Ooooh, look at the pretty colors

I've always fancied myself something of a photographer. Who doesn't these days? But there’s nothing quite as frustrating as trying to shoot a rock show. The lighting is a bitch, you’re always in someone’s way and most of what comes out are dark blobs of nothingness and the back of some dude’s head. Ugh. I’m sure my point-and-shoot Casio is not helping the cause.

Every once and a while, you get lucky and snap something cool that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing (even if you obviously don’t). This particular snap taken of Tokyo Police Club singer/bassist Dave Monks is one such pic. The show was pretty cool, too. If only the crowd would’ve woken up sometime before the encore…
