Paranoia is frustrating. That is to say, the paranoia of artists and their tour managers. I shot Ani DiFranco at the Arts and Sciences Auditorium in Laramie Wyoming this past week. Unfortunately, I was denied my usual position shooting from the orchestra pit, “Ani does not like camera’s” they said. So far Ani DiFranco has been the most restrictive artists I have photographed. Even Bobby McFerrin was more accommodating. Have you seen a good picture of her? I didn’t think so.
