side effect back on stage

or.. the challenge of doing something different..
yesterday, arena, vienna.. the fabulous dresden dolls.. again. following my pics of krems/donaufestival i got invited to shoot in the arena as well, officially.. which doesn’t necessarily make a difference, but at least one has an armstrap to show if one of the venue’s staff is getting too curious bout a big lens..
donaufestival korneuburg 060504
[posting to the archives..]
went there quite motivated, after the great shots i got from the dresden dolls in krems, but didn’t figure light could be *that* bad compared to krems.. and well, half of the bands haven’t been to my taste either.. there seems no lineup up anymore on the festivals’ site so i don’t have much info bout the bands at hand..

it happened to be the 30th birthday of the female half of the dresden dolls – amanda – and it turned out to be an incredible concert. i again (like with chicks on speed the year before) took my camera and a single lens with me (1d”+85/1.2) as i didn’t know what security checks would be like and if one was allowed to shoot – well i should have read the dolls’ page in advance..
