A postcard from ezunfela who is enjoying Bumfest life on the beach:....... (_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_)... .............. ...(_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_).............(_!_)...(_!_).. .(_!_)...(_!_)......(_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_)...(_!_)... ......................................but just when things were going so well: Shark Attack!!: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~(_!_)~~~~(_!_)~~~~~(_!_)~~~~(_!_)~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,°)))))),°)))))))".....Have you ever had any equipment confiscated, stolen or lost?"Lost, on my birthday at manchester acadamy, had about 7 or 8 good recordings, and i lost it in the encore, as the crowd were going at it quite abit. Bit disappointing, good gig though."..... "Hackney empire I got told a few times to stop recording, So i gave up and watched it.".........Have you ever been thrown out of a gig for taping?...."Nope.".....If you could have an ideal world for tapers, what would that world be like?....."Umm somehow have a very small camera that would record everything perfectly and that i couldnt lose. But i like the challenge of recording the way i do sometimes, its fun." ............................................................ .........................................................."L ost Art of Murder", 29 June 2007, J.Ross:

............................................................ .......................................................... Jazzy, a photographer, has this to say:.... Why do you do it? Wouldn't the gig be more fun without the camera - or does every gig present its own challenges that adds to the fun?....... "But then who would document this important segment of British life? I started out being a street photographer, capturing every day events. This is a very important social event. I not only shoot the band, but photos of the crowdsurfers, rockers and ravers. I want to compile 10 years of material and see how fashions change and how people remain the same."......How do you do it?..... "with a camera! haha".....How do you choose each gig?..... "Well i shoot gigs of bands i know or that have seen me shooting somewhere else. Most of the time i am invited. My favourite band is the GST Cardinals, i just see when they're playing close enough and bring all my gear around.".....What equipment do you use?..... "photo: Canon EOS 350D and Canon Powershot A620 Video/sound: Canon Powershot A620".....What equipment would you like to use?..... "super 8 film camera and a fancy canon video (the hand-held kind they use for films and the like) Also better lenses for my Canon EOS."......How do you secure your position in the crowd and keep a steady hand?..... "Try to secure a place up as close to the front as possible and don't let the crowdsurfers and rockers move you away. At the Ramsays gig at the Carling Academy, i put my arms over the crash barrier and hung on for dear life. I got squashed and bruised, but i got some great photos! Another fantastic gig was GST Cardinals at the Adelphi in Hull. We were in a small room and people were crowdsurfing and moshing and rocking along, i couldn't keep really still i just held up the camera in the general direction and hoped for the best!".....How do you get away from the off-tune singers (those with cameras and sound)?..... "why bother? they made the night interesting. Lets keep put them in!".....What do you do with your recordings?..... "put the videos up on the net and make mp3 and give to the artist (which so far is really only the GST Cardinals and Lazy Baker)".....What is your favourite place on the net to put them up?..... "photos: flickr.com/photos/jazzylemon jazzylemon.co.uk www.myspace.com/jazzylemon.....video: http://youtube.com/babyshamblesx and http://motiono.com/babyshambles".....What is the recording you are most proud of (link please/download please)? "GST Cardinals - Sleep Alone LIVE at the Adelphi in Hull 15 July 2007 http://youtube.com/watch?v=53sbr_wCjUI".....Why is it your favourite?..... "This was a video that was almost completely black, i was able to salvage it, making it artistic, and i feel i got something that captured the night. This was a very special gig in a cramped, sweaty venue, and the most exciting one i've ever been to.....But for real favourites,they would be my photos. My favourite photo is this one: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/59954823/".....What is your most disappointing recording and why.... "i don't know, I'm happy to be able to get any kind of recording, really!".....Have you ever had any equipment confiscated, stolen or lost?..... "Although i've been asked to leave supermarkets, railway stations and the like when i did street shots, the only thing i've lost doing gigs is a skylight which disappeared amongst the crowdsurfers at the Ramsays gig.".....Have you ever been thrown out of a gig for taping?..... "no because the gigs i do tape are mostly the GST Cardinals! who are now friends of mine, so they ask me to come." ............................................................ ..........................................................
