For this week’s SPF Kristine asked us to show “you in music”…
© me. Pearl Jam in Hamburg, Germany, 1996.
Obviously, I am not in this picture, but I took it in 1996. There were no digital cameras back then [or maybe there were, but I didn’t own one] and I took this picture with a simple, disposable Quick Snap Camera. I am awfully proud of it, because despite the circumstances, it turned out really well. As you can see I made it quite close to the stage.
This was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to [and believe me, I’ve been to many].
Did you play??

May 23, 2008 at 12:16 pmI take photos at concerts also–always trying to think of a way to sneak a camera in. I must admit I don’t know this band. . . too old I guess.

May 23, 2008 at 7:56 pmPretty nice pic! As a photographer, I have shot quite a few concerts, but never Pearl Jam. The last big name was probably the Black Crowes, though I shot Son Volt at the same festival and I love those pic more because I actually like them!
I played…humiliating…but I played:-)
Have a great weekend!

in 1991 I bumped into Eddie at one of the outside tables at Lollapalooza…wish I would have had my camera then, but we shared a smile I will never forget!
I played too!

May 25, 2008 at 11:11 pmThat is a really good picture considering it was taken with a disposable camera. And so old (relatively speaking). Haha. I was 13 years old when you took this and hadn’t been to any pop / rock concerts yet!
