Going to concerts is one of my favorite past times and now that I am a proper adult with an adult-sized paycheck, I have made it my personal mission to attend concerts for all the bands that teenage Sara’s mother wouldn’t let her go to. Unfortunately, Paramore is still a band that I have not yet been able to see live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did we get here? Well, I think I know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I was jamming out to Paramore on my way home from work. Decode was the last song I listened to before pulling into my garage and turning off my car. When I sat down to write this blog post, the song was still playing in my head so I headed over to Flickr to see what CC images relating to Paramore might be available. While there is nothing inherently wrong with the original image, it feels unfocused and the guitarist is viewed at an awkward angle. So not only is he presented in a way that disserves him, he’s taking focus from the major energy happening in the photo, portrayed by Hayley Williams. I elected to crop the photo to a 1:1 ratio, thereby omitting the guitarist from the photo and emphasizing Hayley. This shifts the focus squarely to Hayley and minimizes the pull of the crowd and the second guitarist on the eye of the viewer. In my cropped version, the crowd and the second guitarist are reduced in prominence to background objects supporting the context of Hayley singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
