The above is the work of the famed Ivan Chesnokov.

Just got hired to take photos of an underground hip hop show, all last-minute like. It's in my home town, so travel isn't an issue. That said, the two times I have been threatened by paranoid audience members for taking photos were both at hip hop shows. Some day I am going to pen Correia's Law of Perceived Lens Field of View: When the subjects wants to be photographed, every lens is extremely narrow and all subjects won't be in frame unless they're clunking heads and staring down the center of the lens. Conversely, if the subject doesn't wish to be photographed, every lens is a superwide and captures everyone in front of it in-frame and in-focus.

A reap oast, but a worthy one. This is a Russian tradition, apparently.

^^^Deffo. No technological advancements beat an artistic eye and honed skills.

Nice camera you got there.

Ugh. We got 4-5" of snow in W.Mass, and it's nasty, heavy stuff. I just exhumed the Subaru and cleared a path to the wood pile. Mum called and wanted me to shovel her whole driveway. Dedicated son that I am, I said NO WAI and offered to clear enough space for a car to park at the end of the driveway (mum still can't drive post-surgery). Sometimes I regret being an only child. Sometimes. I did get some good shots of the afternoon sun coming through the trees. Don't have time to sift or edit them right now.

<snicker> What is this I don't even.

What the other said. Glad you're well. "Atrial Ablation" would make a great name for a black metal band. ...I'll get my coat.

Pew Pew Pew!

I suspect you're right. It's sill going to haunt my nightmares. Never say die!
