Not wicked: video phones

I've been to a few concerts recently and have a few more coming up. Something that's been pissing me off, and Mel too at Pearl Jam, is people that insist on watching the performance through their phone's camera screen.

Here's an idea, instead of filming the concert through a shitty camera-phone, watch it and enjoy it while you're there. As Mel pointed out, the same goes for playing with children. Get in amongst it and have real memories instead of filming from a distance and watching life pass you by through the viewfinder.

    I reckon there is a time and place for everything though.

    The occasional snap is wicked and I liked most of the photos I got at the school party, they’ll jog my memory in years to come but I’m not a fan of video for the most part I think it’s a waste of time.

    Glad you guys like Pearl Jam :)

    Nobody could argue that you live your life through the viewfinder Aaron :)
