Invasion of the Nightlife Photographers

Says Mr. Awesome:

Kinda hating the influx of “show/bar/club photographers” invading SF lately. Cant I get a fucking drink or watch a band or dance without some creepy douchebag taking a picture of me doing whatever every 3 seconds? (see: debaser)

Do any of these dudes actually get laid from doing this? Methinks not as much as I do from dancing/actually talking to girls.

Link. Well, do they?

    ask chris brennan. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/unaesthetic/) he’s the knockout with the big camera with a giant flash.

    Some of them display a certain nerd élan, but its kind of annoying to those who like to get loose and rowdy knowing that whatever you do will be captured and up on flickr the next day for all to see. I for one, am not that proud of all the things I do when Im raging and sure as hell dont need to see what I was doing that night ever again.

    I was at the Chad VanGaalen/Women show on Tuesday (and boy, did you sleep hard if you werent there) and there was the textbook photogranerd pushing through the overly crowded floor going up to girls and asking if they wanted their pix taken. At least he was asking (and I watched many decline him), but is “stealing one’s soul” (as our Native American brothers and sisters believe) really that appealing to girls? I guess in our egocentic, myspace-pic, tweet-like-Diddy world maybe it is.

    Chris doesn’t do it to get laid. He does it to get paid.

    Oh, snap!

    As a Flickr nerd my personal m.o. is anything on the street is fair game, but once indoors it’s time to be respectful!

  7. I suspect Mr. Awesome is an internet tough guy. Anyone who discusses how often they get laid (on the internet) is only a breath away from describing his martial arts skills.

    I specialize in pleasuring all the women of the world through the mesmorizing world of tapdancing.

    I like the idea of a Chad VanGaalen show as ‘raging.’

    Yo bros, was getting fuckin’ BLACKED OUT at Rachel Yamagata the other night, any who wasn’t there, that shit was THE JOINT. Pre-gaming at my apt before Great Lake Swimmers this Saturday — anyone gotta connect on some brocaine?

    (brocaine is a funny word. thanks!)

    I bet that guy who does last night’s party gets/ got laid a whole lot… http://lastnightsparty.com/

  12. Mr. Awesome says:

    Nah brah, Mr Awesome was just at the show, nyet ragin but sippin on some ICE and smokin da redness (purple is so last year dude). Its other nights like debaser and those noisepop shows where Mr Awesome rages and gets his rico suave on.

  13. Hey Mr. Awesome – what’s your job? Do you do it to get laid?

    While I do understand what you’re saying; I’m not actually a creep who just shows up to take pictures of people I don’t know – I do it for work and am hired to be there. Sounds like I caught a flick of your bad side?

    We always do a photo review and try to leave out shots we think the person might find to be unflattering. This is of course totally subjective – especially for those people I don’t know – but the attempt is made.

    I can make rent in one night drinking for free with friends and taking pictures of pretty girls. I’m going to go ahead and be the bigger man here by leaving the initial question up to your imagination.

    Cheers.
