So. I turn up at a gig yesterday evening quite early as I usually do. I am standing around getting my bearings deciding where might be the best place to position myself in this small venue that is set up like a dingy WWll era cabaret bar when “man under pressure” (MUP) approaches me:
MUP: “Are you Gary?”
ME: “No I am Patrick the photographer”
MUP: “Oh I thought you were an artist” (MUP walks off)
Well at least I know now. All that angst I have about whether I am an artist lifted off my shoulders just like that.
