27.01.10 I GOT TO PHOTOGRAPH IGLU & HARTLY AT THE ACADEMY, IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE RANDOM BECAUSE WE WENT TO DO PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MY FRIENDS BAND WHO WERE SUPPORTING AND ENDED UP DOING THEM ASWELL. THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD GIG, THE NEW POLITICS WERE ALSO SUPPORTING, AN AMERICAN BAND FROM LA WITH GORGEOUS AMERICAN ACCENTS AND AMAZING STAGE PRESENCE, THE SHOW WAS ELECTRIC WITH THEM DOING BACKFLIPS AND BREAK DANCING, IT WAS SO HARD TO GET DECENT PHOTOS OF THEM HOWEVER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T STOP MOVING! THERE SUCH NICE PEOPLE THOUGH, BACKSTAGE ANTICS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST PART OF THE GIG IN MY OPINION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GORGEOUS IGLU & HARTLY WALK PAST AND HAVE A CHAT WITH YOU, ONE OF THE LEAD SINGERS COULD HAVE PASSED FOR OZZY OSBOURNE IN THE YOUNGER DAYS, MM. THIS BAND IS SO DOWNGRADED AND REALLY DONT GET ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR HOW AMAZING THEY ACTUALLY ARE, I'VE BEEN TO MY FAIR SHARE OF GIGS THIS YEAR AND THEY WERE DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST, EVEN THOUGH THEY NEARLY KNEED ME IN THE FACE A FEW TIMES JUMPING ABOUT! I'M ACTUALLY QUITE PLEASED WITH THESE PHOTO'S, I LOVE IT WHEN THEY LOOK DOWN AT YOU AND GIVE YOU EYE CONTACT AND YOU CAPTURE IT, IT MAKES THE PHOTO SO MUCH MORE PERSONAL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR WHEN THEY COME BACK TO BIRMINGHAM, HOPEFULLY I CAN SHOOT THEM AGAIN!
