I'll admit, I've never been to a punk rock concert. I knew the stereotype going in, but I thought I'd survive well enough while still protecting my two cameras and three lenses. Because I was shooting for the yearbook, an IDS photographer was at the concert at Rhino's All-Ages Club, too. Ten minutes before the start of the show, as the chants started, she texted me, "farris, get ready to protect your camera. the crowd's probably gonna get pretty rowdy".
A crowd gathers outside Rhino's All-Ages Club before the Against Me! concert on Feb. 13, 2011, in Bloomington, Ind. The punk band closed their month-long tour in a town they had not performed for in more than three years.
