TALES FROM THE PHOTO PIT: Good Charlotte

Growing up, I had photos of Good Charlotte plastered all over my binder. In true eight grade fashion, I listened to The Young and The Hopeless on repeat as though the album's home was in my cheap white boombox covered in band stickers. It was nostalgic photographing a band I listened to in my early teens. The most surprising part was seeing people my age running around moshing and crowd surfing.  
​
I had a hard time finding parking, but made it just in time to catch the end of  Set Your Goals, which was great because the band is always a blast to catch live. Next was The Story So Far—who photographers only got to shoot for one song because crowd suffers kept swarming into the photo pit. 
​

Next was Good Charlotte, who I found myself humming along to as I photographed. I'm not sure if frontman Joel Madden heard me, it's doubtful as I was next to the giant speakers near the stage, but he stoped right in front of me and posed for a shot. 

Though it'd been a while since I saw Good Charlotte live, the band members still had the same amount of energy they did back in 2006 when I last saw them. After I was done photographing them, I went up to the balcony to watch the show but couldn't help but run back to the floor after a few songs to join the mosh pit, camera bag and all.
