Rebel Without Applause
Last night I drove a few hours to see the band Pavement as part of their reunion tour - and a warm-up for their Coachella show.
The venue said they allowed cameras, so I packed my M8 and a couple of lenses for the girlfriend as well as my E-P2 and a 50 1.4 & 80-200 Pentax lenses.
As we got to the door, security searched our bags and said that nothing with a detachable lens would be allowed - not even the normally harmless M8 was allowed entry. We ran back to the car and I stashed my E-P2 and a couple of lenses in a secret pocket in my bag - once inside, I thought I was in the clear...
...and then I realized that I had nothing to mount the lenses onto the body.
Needless to say, I had been experimenting with pseudo-tilt shift photos (think Lensbaby) and was happy with the results.
So, I shot as much as I could holding the body with one hand and the lens with the other - moving the lens at different angles trying to get some DECENT shots.
