Yacht - South Street Seaport, NYC - August 6th, 2010
I love shooting at the Seaport. My biggest gripe at shooting there is that in the pit there's three giant speakers right in front of the stage so I can never get a close-wide shot of a band unless they move out and step on those speakers. Fortunately for this show, the speakers were dragged out so that there was enough space to squeeze in (albeit you have to be careful not to pull the cables connecting the speakers). I really wasn't expecting to get in there but another photog was blocking the angles I wanted (i.e. he was inside the space between the stage and speakers and I couldn't get my wide-angle shots). I decided to go in there and shoot until I got eventually yelled at by the sound guy. However, I did love the shots I got of Yacht! They're over at BV.
