Cameras and Concerts

At the Hilary Duff concert on the weekend, I was searched for a camera.  Of course, as the smartie I thought I was, I didn't bring one. Yet, when the lights dimmed, and the chanteuse took to the stage, hundreds of camera flashbulbs flickered throughout the audience. Wow, now that's tight security.

But in an era when every cellphone available now has a built in camera, how long will security even be able to ask the camera question at the ticket queue?

Participatory photojournalism will make every ticketholder a potential contributor. Gone goes image control at public venues.  Imagine the possibilities.
