Little life update and Happy Holidays!

I think it's time to start adding tags to my posts, because when I try to read my posts (which I usually never do), it's hard to avoid confusion. I'm somewhere doing something, and it's hard to put the events in a chronological and logical order.

So from now, little life updates from here and there.

Thoughts on being a concert photographer + Dakh Daughters

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that it would be nice to work a concert photographer. Somehow it happened that many of my friends in some ways are connected with music. And because I didn't have any natural musical talent, I show my love for music through photography. And I also love live music. And taking pictures of musicians (not only on the stage). But this is the 'bright' side of it. There is always a dark side, like it happened with Annie Leibovitz. Because of constant tours with The Rollings Stones, she became dependent on drugs along with the musicians (thank God she left in the past). Of course, I wouldn't like to travel with such band, but sometimes job happens. And I'm not sure I would love to do it as 'job' yet. But, I still can enjoy the 'bright' side of concert photography, that's why this time I'm showing you Ukrainian freak-cabaret band 'Dakh Daughters'.

When asnwering a 'how-are-you' question, we add 'regarding the cicurmstances' part.
