Photos 2012 Weekend 1

[beaniemiles]

Is there an official 2012 pictures thred? I haven't seen any official pictures, I know I saw a ton of photographers, don't flame, i've searched everywhere, can't find! Thanks everyone in advance!

[ivankay]

i am one of the many official picture takers. Most of our pictures are submitted to Goldenvoice and they will pick and choose for whatever they need it for. Eventually a large selection will end up in the Gallery. For years i have made photo threads here on the message board (see my sig below for 2011 stuff). Initially i will create a random selection of pics as Coachella is going on:

Random Coachella 2012 Pictures

This year's thread: Some Pictures from Coachella 2012 Until the Long Ass Thread is Made

i am still working on both and traditionally put up pictures until the next Coachella rolls in.

Hope you like.

helllooo, i think I saw you taking pictures at breakbot and think there may have been an invaluable one taken of my brother and I.. are the pictures under the random 2012 pictures link your entire cataolouge of pictures that you have from breakbot w.1 or is there more somewhere?

thanks !

^i have not nor will put the majority up for a while. If you could help narrow it down, i can scan and see if i have one of you and your brother. Did we talk? Did the photographer look like me? Possibly wearing a white hat? Where in the Sahara were you? Did you pose specifically for the picture or are you just hoping?

Are you going to be posting more of the group meetup?

[BROKENDOLL]

What are the odds of you possibly Photoshopping my ass into the group picture since I was too pissy to be there and smile that day?

i will. At some weird time, they will be put in the thread. i'm back in the real world and those responsibilities are some of the primary reasons it takes me so long to post hundreds and hundreds of pictures.

One day i will possess those skills, but not yet.

After 3 weekends, Mike must have over 20,000 photos. Cut him some slack. Or at least send him money. Ha.

Err the photographer in question was wearing one of those floppy hats I believe, not sure on the color but it was light.. We would have been on the right side (facing the stage) of the fence right about where the stage meets the tvs. in the picture my brother and i were both wearing tanktops and i was jumping up behind him to get in the picture.. we didnt talk to the photographer but rain check if it was you ! thanks

I had 24,000 after just Weekend 1, and I had less photo access than Mike had.

[frazzles]

Cool story, supre

[ivankay]

You're welcome.

I had 24,000 after just Weekend 1, and I had less photo access than Mike had.

Not sure of the number, but for the weekend i'm pretty sure i had less than 10,000. i'll try to figure it out. i suspect the 3 weekends is pushing that 20,000 range. A lot of my access is for getting to and fro. Taking pictures of the backstage area is pretty meh. Only when there's something unusual going on like this:

Suprefan: Always trying to 1+ everyone

[ivankay]

i don't think Chris is playing the 1+ game. And i understand why he thought 20,000 was a low number. i used to shoot more, but mellow it down as time goes on. One time i got to talk to one of my concert photography idols, Glen Friedman. When telling him i liked to shoot shows too, i dropped "Oh, i must have taken over 20,000 pictures last year". He replied "I don't think I have taken 20,000 in my life." Those words still echo though my head when i shoot. Don't get me wrong, i still let the shutter fly, just not as much.

Hello Ivankay... don't know if you remember me, chatted a little after Kasabian Weekend 2, your friend? (I presume) wanted to trade a beer for my kasabian glow stick (which by the way was handed to me by supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, she was just in front of me on the other side of the rail, nice girl), I don't recall watching you on full photog gear, maybe W2 you just went to see the show as a normal person.

Anyway as I said, hope to see your pictures when they come, always brings a smile to my face.

[ivankay]

Thanks. The Saturday of Weekend 2 was my day off for fun (and the best Coachella day i have had in years). i chose to only have one lens for my SLR that day. i had to be at Kasabian (the headliner that didn't headline). Show rocked hard. i have a few pictures from that show up in my set. This would be the first one (click to go to the pic):


The crutch cracks me up. Guess he didn't get a glow stick.

Here's another:

[furiacontralamaquina]

You said it, one of the top 3 sets of this year hands down!

[ivankay]

Amen. And i do remember when Sexecutioner tried to bargain your stick away with a beer.

Nice pics ivankay, as always... just by chance in one of them my campsite is almost visible and I swear I can see my head as I put one of the tarps on)

[ivankay]

Awesome! Can't do it now, but i'll try a crop later to see how nice it can look.
