Talking Camera secrets

Well first off, I'm a guy so this may be easier for me. I'm pretty thin and lean too, but what I do is stick the camera in the small of my back. The first show in Tampa, FL I went to I took a 35 mm with a zoom and shoved it right inbetween my boxer shorts and my jeans! In other words, right in the crack o' my a$$. And they didnt even notice it! I just went to the Atlanta show a few days ago and took TWO disposables in. I put them both in the same place and had no problem. With women, they CHECK PURSES and baggy jackets. The less clothing you have on, the better.

But on the bright side, once you get in there, no one gives a sh*t. The guys on the floor are really just crowd control. They dont give a rats @ss about cameras. I saw a woman just walk right up to the stage to take a picture of it before the band came on! And no one said anything to her. I wouldnt be THAT obvious, but there's just an example for you.

As far as snapping the shots, I just had on semi-loose fit jeans. Each time I'd snap a shot I'd put the camera in my back pocket just in case. I tried to get a good shot per song. Keep your hands to your side and no one will mess with you! It's better to be on the front 3 rows for disposables. If you are further back, you need a zoom for the pics to turn out worthwhile.
