Re: From the front row: A fan's perspective

I've always admired your photography. Some of these are outstanding. They're all great, and very many unique ones. Thank you for sharing. I keep meaning to revisit mine, but I'm still broken. I will though. Thank you ... appreciate your kind words! Please do revisit your photos. We all look forward...

Re: From the front row: A fan's perspective

Yes, thanks Eugene, so nice to re-live, through your camera lens, images from the front row! I attended 8 concerts in Australia on LC's last tour and was lucky to get a perfect front row seat to 4 of those concerts, all due to the pre-sales - Thank you, Jarkko! My camera was not working properly so...

Re: From the front row: A fan's perspective

Hi Eugene, I enjoyed your beautiful Photo's and video very much. I have been so lucky that I have been on the front row a few times and I know it is not easy to make good pictures. Thank you for sharing it here, Wybe Thank you! This was my only front row experience, but I have been to the front a f...

Re: From the front row: A fan's perspective

You're welcome. I thought I needed to put some context, and include a few words of thanks. It's strange, the front row experience couldn't be bettered. I had opportunity to see Cohen again, but from quite a few rows back. I decided against it. Perhaps, I was hoping for another tour but, of course, t...

From the front row: A fan's perspective

Jarkko has asked me to post my tribute to Leonard on the Forum. But, first, the background ... On 23rd May 2013, I was lucky enough to secure a pair of tickets for Leonard's Birmingham show, which was to take place a few months later, on 8th September. Not just any tickets. Front row tickets! This w...

Re: Sharon Robinson

There is a very happy family photo that I noticed on Arlene's Leonard Cohen Scrapbook , which I have linked to here. I spoke to Michael Gold (Greg Gold & Sharon's son) after Sharon's show in Dublin earlier this year. He was a very talented, genuinely friendly, polite and tolerant (of me and my c...

Re: "Popular Problems" - the next LC album (late September 2

Looking forward to this. I shall (hopefully - all going well) be listening to this on the headphones at the maternity hospital. The 4th - and last (my own too popular problem)! - of my contribution to future Cohen fans is due in October.

That's a very good shot! Wonderful perspective. Intimate. I really enjoyed the lighting and shadows throughout the concert.

Re: CONCERT REPORT: LG Arena, Birmingham UK - Sunday 8 Septe

They let me take the camera though - I'm still none the wiser what their policy is?! The policy at most venues is no cameras with interchangeable lenses which they class as professional cameras. I saw someone using a SLR with a small lens about 3 people to the right of me on the front row of the ce...
