CAMA Festival 6

So it came to pass that the yearly event that all sane Hanoians look forward to rolled around again, and this year I was the lucky shashinka given access to the stage to document the event.

The festival was rammed - as usual - and not even torrential rain towards the end of the day could dampen the spirits of the crowd. The rain may even have made it the best ending to a CAMA Festival that these eyes have seen. Hundreds of people squashed together under the tarp in a seething mass of humanity, others rolling around in the mud to either side, watching Electric Eel Shock in all their high-octane drum bothering guitar chewing glory.

So. Thanks to the CAMA crew for inviting me to photograph their festival, and a big thanks to them also for all the effort they put in, year in year out, bringing bands over, putting on shows, and making Hanoi a more exciting place to live. They're essential to the life of this city, so please continue to go to and support their Good Works.

Here be some crowd shots:

Girl Talk

Gregg Gillis' gigs are hard to photograph. He gets completely surrounded by sweaty, dancing, jumping folk, and the man himself can't stay still. Add that to whatever state you're in when watching/snapping him, and you're looking at some seriously blurry shots; however, nothing captures the movement, the energy of the night more than a bit of blur eh or whatever this is.
