A Study in Pete

I took a lot of photos with my Holga at my friend Pete's band's gigs. "The Grimace" were one of the most promising up-and-coming bands in Tokyo until the the malevolent influence of the Japanese wife of the band's artistic powerhouse and the banging-pots-and-pans-together musical influence of another member's vegetarian photographer wife put an end to their dreams. They have now parted ways. These shots are not especially clear, nor especially good, but I quite like the gritty atmosphere that the slightly distorted Holga plastic lens lends the shots. I think they work relatively well as shots from a (really) small venue. As ever, click the photo to see the whole gallery.
