The Gogol Bordello show was packed last night, the perfect opportunity for some great shots from the eye of the storm. So naturally I was in the pit getting some great stuff and all of a sudden my lens fell off my camera. At first I did what anyone does in the middle of a crazy mosh pit, I put my arms out and started looking around frantically hoping everyone around me would start realizing I dropped something important and help me look for it.
Well, it was just too freakin crazy and after a out 40 seconds someone looked at me and said "don't even think about it" I walked out thinking fuck! well it was bound to happen sooner or later after working in these kinds fo conditions for so long. I pushed my way off the dance floor, put my lens behind the front desk and went outside for a minute. Then I was like, well maybe now I can get that 2.8 lens I want, and went back in to dance. About 10 minutes in I saw someone holding up a fist with my lens in it. I grabbed and was like Ahhhhhh! amazing, but what does this thing actually look like after being jumped on a millions times? I walked back out, got my camera body and mounted it! It actually worked. My lens filter was off and hood missing but it actually still worked. Anyway I got right back in and started shooting again. Jeez what a night!
