PINK: a blast from the past
When sorting out your future, a visit to the past can help.
It was back on the 19th May 0f 2007, and I held a media pass for PINKs concert at the AIS arena. My mate; Marina Neil, was also photographing at the gig. We were two of three photographers in the pit – so it was glorious not contending with elbows-a-plenty.
I cannot say if I was or wasn’t expecting anything in particular from a chick who was said to have been awesome live. I had to see for myself.
Her first 3 songs were quite tame, comparing to the rest of her gig (which I got a ticket to see). And lets just say I wish I could photograph the whole damn set!!!
The first photograph on the left attracted the attention of Pink’s manager. I got a call from her a week after it was published. The unfortunate thing was they were not willing to credit me as the photographer or pay for the copyright. So I declined.
It was fun to photograph, and I’m glad I was able to photograph a very influential musician during my time as a Music Photographer in Canberra.
This photograph was published in the May 2007 edition of BMA Magazine. My love goes out to the guys and gals back in the ACT – you do an awesome job (putting up with photographers) xx
