SAD059


SAD059 :: Found photo from a disposable camera :: Summer, 1999

106.5 FM's End-of-Summer Weenie Roast. Charlotte, NC. An all-day affair at what was then Blockbuster Pavillion.

I was in a mosh pit that erupted in the crowd watching a terrible band called Collapsis. This was on a side stage, outdoors, on gravel. I went down, and there in the dirt was a disposable camera. I grabbed it before the other moshers could pull me back up.

It had already been shot. So I stuck it in my pocket. The next day, I took it to the lunch ladies and boy, did they give me a weird look when I came to pick up the prints.

Years later, I printed the image for my Photo II final in college. If I ever made a list of the Top Ten Photos I wish I'd Taken, this would be near the top.

You know, I still have my Collapsis CD. They were not all that talented, but the music worked pretty well as background noise for sex. I have many a happy memory with Collapsis in the background.

Is that too much information? You can delete this comment if it is...
