Photographing Audio: The Art of the Awful Shot

When one takes a photograph, a lot of different things go into composing the shot. Everything has to be perfect. This is a shot that wasn't perfect. I hate the technical aspects of this photo. The lighting was dim, the artist never faced the camera, but technically cameras weren't allowed and the artist was Bob Dylan.

Even though a picture of this quality would be awful if it was by anyone of any less stature, it is one of my favorites. It's hard to appreciate the difficulty of packing yourself into the front row with a DSLR and flash unit that you are supposed to be hiding from the security guard. Just keep that in mind when you judge the following photos.
