More from Coachella, this time from the DSLR. I was still limited to the lenses I could sneak in and the only show I was close enough to shoot was Ratatat; through a lucky break I got into the VIP section of the audience. Lindsey Lohan was there in the crowd behind me. I  started to point my camera at her but before I could expose anything she made eye contact with me and shook her head "no." It was a sad, drunk kind of movement, and it caught me off guard for the second it took her entourage to surround her and block her from view. I don't think I'm cut out to be a paparazzo, I'd rather take pictures of the sunset.

Coachella. Security was a way big deal there, and "professional cameras" were not allowed. What defined a professional camera was at the discretion of the guard. Somedays I was able to get a DSLR in, but a lot of the time I only had my iPhone 3Gs running the hipstamatic app. I don't know why anybody would deal with the  real holga after using this app. Film is expensive and never turns out this good. I feel like I was left out of an inside joke because of how long I resisted it.
