Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

Continuing on the theme of, “My Photography Hard-On, Let Me Show You It” — Here are some photographs of one of my new favorite bands, Passion Pit, at Monolith Festival.

I was supposed to see these guys opening  for Ra Ra Riot in Bloomington before they canceled. All the indie kids are going, Passion Pit opening for Ra Ra? Helluva lineup! and the other 95% of the population is going, Who? and Who now?

JUST GIVE IT A LISTEN. IT’S GOOD.

One of the things that made me stand out in the press pit?   I was usually the only one who would dance in between frames.

Which is probably why I have blurrier shots than most of them.

I can’t help it.

Also, in the eyes of most pro photographers there, I was shooting with an SLR made by Fisher Price.

But I think I did alright.

What is concert photography if not, just, capturing a moment?

A summoning of light?

A burst of kinetic energy?

Yeah.

Where do I sign up to do this for a living?
