ŠOUROCK 07, round 4

April 18th, 2007 * Comments(1)

ŠOUROCK is one of those competitions for the best new rock group where you inevitably bump into some awesome talent and some… well, not so great talent.

All of them can play, mind you. However, not all of them can perform. And in my mind that’s the larger part of making a lasting impression on the audience (and I’m guessing the jury as well). People go to a live performance to enjoy themselves. I go there to take interesting photos and if all the band members stand there like statues without a hint of emotion or any visible effort it makes my job a bit tough. To be honest I usually stop taking photos altogether in such situations. It just isn’t worth it.

But on the other hand you have the bands that get the audience excited. Bands that turn the heat up and leave the ladies screaming. That’s when I enjoy taking photos. I might produce total crap because I’m enjoying myself too much but I just don’t care ;)

Manage this announced the Helvetica haiku contest winners.

Some are plain weird, some suck but some are actually quite cool. Like…

i shot the serif
left him there full of leading
yearning for kerning

And in case you haven’t seen the clips from Helvetica, the documentary… Go! NOW!

On a related note (see previous post), I think I just found a new role model. This stuff is mindblowing!. Not just the 28 millimetre project, everything!
