There is nothing more frustrating to a photographer, or at least to me, as being in a great place to take amazing pictures, and NOT being allowed to have your "real" camera equipment!!! Oh, you can take a "camera", or a camera phone, but that is NOT what a camera is as far as I am concerned! If I can't have a DSLR and a couple of lenses, that is not having a camera with me. Sigh.

 I love going to concerts, music only second to photography in my world, but I always end up frustrated. I always bring my "point and shoot" as those are allowed, but the results are far from what I know I could get. But yet, I try. I manage to get a bunch that are acceptable, a few I actually like... but most are just a futile effort. I share the ones that I like with "the world", ie; on facebook, and a lot of people enjoy them. That makes the effort a little more worthwhile. But I will forever rather be the photographer at the concert that has the magic pass that allows "real equipment", and be the one to get the great images.
