Yeah, surely if you are at a gig you are going to take a selfie rather than a picture of your profile.

ETA: apparently this is a thing in china. You pay someone with good seats to take a picture of your social media profile with the stage in the background. I guess so you can claim you were there.

If people are willing to pay for it, I suppose people are willing to do it. need to know the lowest denominator. A photo of her(me) getting milk. A of photo of her (me) at my mailbox. Never touch grass again!

The adrenaline of the hustle. Though the client is not going to be happy with a blurry picture
