Jarvis through the kaleidoscope

The recent Jarvis Cocker concert at the Forum theatre was most excellent, and I took lots of photos. The best were included in my review, and worst got deleted. I kept looking at the ones in between and decided they were worthy of sharing. I’m still learning how to best use my newish digital camera, as its behaviour and sensitivity are very different to my previous one. I claim no artistic credit here – these are all camera accidents! I like them because they capture his unexpectedly frenetic performance.
