I took my daughter and her friend to the NME "Big Gig" last night at the O2 Arena. Of course I took my camera bag as well with a view to doing some more external night-time architecture shots.
As it transpired, I ended up taking a few pics of some celebs, but was deeply handicapped that I didn't know who most of them were.
#1 This chap for example. I suspect he is Carl Barat of Dirty Pretty Things and a mate of Pete Doherty but not too sure...
#2 I do know now that this is Mike Bailey who plays Sid in Skins. He was absolutely hammered and seemed to be loving the attention from swarms of teenage girls. I managed some decent shots of him which I've put up to Scoopt.
#3 One thing about having a mahoosive camera & flash is that you get lots of lovely ladies coming up chatting to you. I'd claim it is my natural animal magnetism but this is doubtful! I also received free beer (shame I was driving). Example of ladies...
#4 Also did some general pics. Here are some strange glowing balls
#5 And some people passing a curious display of things found on the site
All in all, a fun night. Once I'd quizzed my daughter on the names of the remaining "celebs" I captured, I zapped a bunch of them onto Scoopt just for fun. There were quite a few "paps" about and I was amazed how the celebs, who were mostly C and D listers, played up to them. What a bonkers industry it is!
