I often take my best pictures unexpectedly, and this is always pleasing. Below are my ten favorite pics from shows I've attended this year. I am most proud of my LCD shots from Terminal 5, which came out surprisingly clear and/or interestingly considering I was standing all the way at the back of the room in front of the sound/light board.
If there is any theme to these photos, it seems to be contrast and unusual colors, which make up for the lack of clarity and sharpness that my point-and-shoot delivers (but at least it's water proof!). Of course there is also the fact that I can't help but be taken in and mesmerized by well executed stage lighting. I still sort of wish I had done that lighting minor back when I had the chance, but for now I can capture the visions that go with the sounds I hold dear.
