The thing with shooting events is, the camera has a habit of removing
you from the moment.
I recommend you just enjoy the music...after that the shots will
present them self.
thanks for the thought; that is not a big issue in this case -- i am mainly
shooting the "scene in between": people, interactions, bikes, street art, that
sort of thing
this is an event distributed over 22 venues on a few blocks, so there is lots
of milling about on the streets, and only some of the music interests me; it
just happens to be at my doorstep, so i get a free pass for having to deal with
it for 4 days whether i want to or not; photographing the scene fits with my
long-standing practice of documenting my neighborhood
on the subject you raise, i don't shoot performances much in general,
especially performances i am really enjoying; i am very good at engaging with
music i like; i sometimes take my camera (or iPhone) out to get a momento, but
then put it away and that's that; there have been times, though, when
photography has heightened my appreciation for something i am experiencing
