Nooooooooooo!

Thankfully the memories of my childhood are not as easily re-written as the scenes from my favorite film franchise:

The correct shoes for the job!

While I will admit that I looked pretty snazzy in my Florsheim Curtis Men's Oxford shoes; they were quite unsuited for shooting an event that involved quite a bit of movement. Ten hours later my feet were killing me! Besides the slippery/smooth slope that I had the pleasure of navigating on while carrying roughly 20lbs of camera gear. The ultra-thin socks I decided to wear helped add to the nasty blister that formed on the back of the ankle.

Ah the perils of concert photography! Next time I will remember to drop a pair of Wolverine Durashocks Opanka Oxford into the car for when I plan to hop from a grip&grin assignment to a mosh pit.

Lesson learned!
