Last night I had the pleasure of photographing one of the best live performances I've seen in years. Street Sweeper Social Club (including guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine) opened for Nine Inch Nails, followed by Jane's Addiction. Each band put on a stellar performance. Morello's master guitarwork dripped with the sweat pouring off his face as he played with his teeth. Trent Reznor put in a full 100%, blowing away all expectations I had from this first time seeing him perform. Lastly, Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell closed the show with all the perfection I remembered from the last time I saw them. For this show, I also had the opportunity to shoot from atop the house. I trunced though the weeds and black widow spiders above the spotlight stage to find the perfect spot amoung the agave plants. Hunched down in the dirt, I sat and waited for the perfect wide angle shots. I pushed my new EOS 5D Mark II to it's limits. See the results of the show here. |
