The Money Shot ??

So over the weekend I got asked to try to take ' The Money Shot ' for the festival otherwise know as a photo that could be used for promo for next year but that sums up what Dot to Dot is as a festival. For those of you that don't know Dot to Dot is a travelling festival with almost the same line up going between Bristol, Nottingham and Manchester with shows focused around 8 local venues.

Here are my attempts.......

Camden Crawl 2011 - Odd Future and Celebral Ballzy

It was the first time I shot the Camden Crawl and i must say it was a great two days. I've heard mixed reviews from previous years but this year the sun came out, the music played and the lines won't bad. Amongst all the acts which played this year my stand outs were Celebral Ballzy who I wanted to catch for some time now and Odd Future, which I had mix opinions of but needed to see, due to all the stories I've heard. And a show they put on....I can describe it as anarchy with massive jumps into the crowd, total abuse of the security and getting the crowd to such as frenzy that they ended up getting through the security guards and jumping the stage. Here are the snaps.
