Prince
I’m not a Prince fan I don’t know much about him, I don’t own any albums and yes I did see his movie Purple Rain when it was released. When I found I had the opportunity to shoot a performance, of course I’m going to go! I've never seen the man before, and I have heard so many things about him! I have to say, Prince did not disappoint. The man is a great entertainer, and he knows how to pick a band. Just really interesting to watch, and it’s all about the show, from what I can tell. Some bands have great instrumentalists, on guitar, on piano, on drums or bass, and so on. some bands have great vocals. a few bands have all of that. With Prince, I don’t remember any of the music, if I’m to be totally honest, but I do remember a good show. There is a rare quality, that follows this man. Like a person you just met, and you like them, but you can’t quite put your finger on why you like them. if that seems like a copout, fair enough. If you get a chance to see this guy see ‘em… This was a bitch to shoot; I’m way over in stage right, in the dark, I’ve got my trusty 70-200mm 2.8, and it is struggling against all sort of lights pointed at me and so many photos just came out of focus. Everything was steaming up on the camera.
