so it’s definitely no secret to any of you that i obsess over the band Lifehouse. and most of you know that my love for Jack’s Mannequin/SoCo has grown to equal that of my love for lifehouse. what comes with all this band loving is an extreme concert addiction. i basically stalked lifehouse last year, going to five of their shows, skipping god knows how many classes, and putting my poor little car through hell. i’ve been attempting the same stalking with jack’s mannequin, but circumstances kept me from 3 shows, two of which i had paid for tickets.
now back in the day, i took a metric ton of pictures. friends laughed because i had like 130 pictures from an hour show…that’s at least a picture every 30 seconds. getting the stalker part yet? at my last concert, i probably only took 15. have my stalker ways subsided? nope. my camera has just been worn out, and it’s out-dated like whoa! it’s only 2 mega pixels. yikes. i love zooming in for close-ups, and i’m usually front row (when you show up at 11 am for a 6pm door, you’re pretty much guaranteed front row…and sunburn, fatigue, hunger and bitterness from all the folks who think they’re getting in front of you–HA) and front row sets me up for some really great zoom shots, but they NEVER come out looking as great as they do in my window. not to mention my camera is absolute shite now with concert lighting and fog. let’s look at some examples, shall we?
this is bryce, bass player of lifehouse:
this could’ve been an amazing picture of jason (lead singer) getting into one of my favorite songs…notsomuch though
playing the intro to a special song played only for our audience (i really wish this one looked better):
how about some jack’s mannequin? can you see andrew being amazing on his piano?
^^^terrible, right? what kind of stalker am i if i can’t even get a clear picture!? if i had one of those SWEET 6 mega pixel hp digital cameras that the payperpost folks have, i’d be BEYOND stoked. really, a stalker is only as good as her equipment, and frankly, my equipment SUCKS. 6mp > 2mp….seriously. check some of these cameras out. they’re amazing for digital photography. i wanted a new camera for christmas, but instead, i’m getting a spare tire and a water filter. i’m 21 years old and instead of getting awesome gifts, i’m getting crap i need ’cause i’m a desperately broke college student. new hp camera > SPARE-FREAKING-TIRE x’s infinity. i really do need a new camera though. how else am i gonna take drunken blackmail photos of all my neighbors? or have proof of when the guys of when i finally get a chance to go out and party with the boys of lifehouse? (it’s gonna happen! i swear it will!)
