In a round about way, this installment of the Monday Photo Blog steps away from the usual shots of bands, and takes a look at the happenings in the crowd. In particular, a few variations on crowd surfing, and the new idea of instrument surfing, as shown below. Idea and execution from Dinda Advena in Jakarta, Indonesia. For more of her work, check out dindaadvena.blogspot.com.

Send your tour photos, bands that have come through your town, the best of your local bands, etc. to: photoblog@maximumrocknroll.com (note new email address!). Include your name, the band (or subject) in the photo, where and when it was shot, and a link to your website (or flickr, Facebook, or whatever). Just send your best photos — edit tightly. Three to seven photos is plenty, and it’s best to send pictures of different bands. Please do not send watermarked photos. Please make your photos 72 dpi and about 600—800 pixels at the longest side. Not everything sent in will be posted, and a response is not guaranteed, but we do appreciate all of your contributions — and feel free to submit more than once. Thanks!
