So I applied for press passes for Bonnaroo 2008 today. For the first time on part of the application it was stated:

“Only photographers with SLR, interchangeable lens cameras will be allowed into the photo pits. There will be no ‘point and shoot’ cameras permitted.”

I have to say THANK YOU. The pits over the last few years have been getting so crowded you can barley move. When I’m shooting I want to move around, and not get the same shot over and over again. I’ve seen an over amount of ‘point and shoot’ and even disposable cameras in the Roo’ pits. Talk about annoying to those of us trying to make a living at being there and making great photos. I walk in to the campsite with more then $10k worth of equipment, I don’t need someone who spent $100 on a crappy camera that isn’t going to get much of a good photo standing in my way and holding up their camera blocking me. Anyway, looking forward to a good year. Should be another fun year, no matter who is playing.
