Capture: Two Tripods, One Night, in reply to JacksonP,
Thanks – here’s the Corner Store a minute or two later. Once again using that handy fence post or railing.

Outside the Powerstation, one night last month.

The shot above must have been amongst the first for me from that fine camera ... Grafton Bridge 1985.
Maybe it sensed the impending end of Ektachrome
Could be. Actually, I had a roll of Kodak Tri-X in there at the time. Just started using it again and it's still good.
so it was terminal
Unfortunately yes. The Nikon agent can't get the parts, anyway.

The first photo in the “Two Tripods …” post of the Auckland skyline was taken a few weeks ago. How times change I thought, as I looked at the mass of tall buildings and the super yachts. The photo above was taken sometime in 1986, from approximately the same position, and with exactly the same camera – my trusty Nikon F3 – and 35mm lens. To add further pathos, I was at Silo Park last weekend photographing Doug Jerebine when I clicked the shutter, the mirror locked up, the shutter and meter refused to work, and it was all over for the F3 and me after 27 happy years. Not worth fixing.

When they performed pretty much my favourite tune ever, ‘Ceremony’, early on, I found a wave of excitement. Which was tampered by Barney forgetting the words to the second verse and instead just repeating the final verse twice. I mean, it’s only their debut single. They’ve only been performing it since 1981
My favourite tune too, but I forgave him the vocal slip up when the guitars dropped out towards the end, and the bassline was spookily so close to the live Joy Division version on Still. That was great. I always wanted to hear them play it that way.
And then during the final song of the night, Love Will Tear Us Apart, added rather stupid stadium-rock-esque yelps into the chorus.
Having seen and heard this unedifying spectacle at BDO in 2002, I braced myself for the cringe. Unfortunately you had no prior warning.

And the obligatory gratuitous Shayne P. Carter shot for Jack … :)
Guitars gonna sound like nuclear destruction.

The crowd watching Shayne …
"… sunglasses after dark
aaah, they’re so sharp
and you’ll be cool
and the squares will drool …" -
Sun going down, the crowd feeling it. At SUBTRKT ...

Wonder if he's going to Laneway? ...
