you did? i'm surprised that Shepard Express couldn't
get you a legit pass...did they try? In the '80s...I approached
Shepard Express about shooting for them (primarily to shoot concerts)
but I didn't get a good feeling from them....and they weren't
willing to pay much or anything.
what events/venues/concerts did you shoot?
I usually don't attempt to bring my pro equipment in because
i don't want it taken away ...and i don't want to leave it in my car..
...but i once nonchalantly walked in (w/ticket) to a show at the Eagles CLub
with an SLR & 200mm 2.8 lens (on a strap) slung over my shoulder. No problems.
But I did wait a while before standing on my chair and shooting 3 rolls...so
at least I'd see some of the show.
anybody ever comment....."what muscular legs you have".
IORR............but I like it!
