| Enjoy the fleeting moment London, ON August 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
No one ever says, “Gee, I’d love to watch two hours of grainy, jumpy video overlaid with distorted audio.” Much of that footage gets stuck in the darkest corners of some dusty drive or cloud service, never to be seen again.
And yet, perversely, I appreciate the why of the uber-amateur, uber-annoying-to-others concert photo shoot. You want a memory, a trigger, a keepsake of some sort that you can hold onto long after the last note fades to silence.
Which explains why I snuck away for a moment to steal this fast snap before rejoining our daughter.
The tiny people onstage are the members of the great Canadian band, Arkells, brought to London by game developer Digital Extremes to celebrate the close of the successful TennoCon conference.
Our daughter works at this wonderful firm, and I was lucky enough to tag along all weekend and watch her and her colleagues work their magic for thousands of fans who came in from all around the world to celebrate the Warframe platform.
It seemed appropriate to grab a picture to remember a moment no one would ever want to forget.
The video? It exists in our minds, where it belongs.
