a little tale

Once upon a time there were two guys who liked to take pictures.
They spent a little fortune for their equipment but they took their photos just for fun and with no commercial intention simply because they loved what they were doing.
Someday these two guys made a weekend trip to the little village of Butzbach, a tiny settlement of 25000 inhabitants in Hesse. Every single citizen still remembers the famous “Hesse day” that was held there back in 2007 and tries the best to teach that to every not-knowing being. Beside that Butzbach had a really charming historic section of town and the Hesse people were very kind and friendly.
Later one of the friendly Hesse told them there would be a concert of a semi-famous musician called Jenniffer Kae and a band called Rednex but of course there was a catch. The two photographers were told: “You have to buy a whole beer crate to get one ticket, there is NO other option.”
Well, the guys were German and because Germans always like drinking beer in every possible occasion they bought a beer crate for each ticket. Hence they did some math: 5 beer cases in sum, makes 5 tickets and 120 bottles of beer... Thank god they loved the brand of beer soooo much…

Later at the little festival the two knights were told “Oh you don’t need to buy so many the beer crates. The concert is for free”… Shocked after these news they remembered why they had come here. Of course they wanted to take photos and equipped with some of the finest camera stuff their weapon smith Canon could provide, they sneaked into the audience and got on their positions to have the best perspective during the concert. When the show started they were ready to rock but after some minutes they were surrounded by security guys who told them to stop taking pictures though everybody else was taking some too…
The problem was: other fans in the audience did “high quality” shots with their cellphone cam. But this wasn’t all. The Butzbach “press” took photos too but the reporters cam looked like the cam the photographer’s grandma used… 10 years ago…
In a heroic fight the two guys tried their best to get rid of the security but they had no other chance than to retreat and to cry.

And if you listen carefully during silent nights you can still hear them weeping… ;)
