When I was 15 I was wearing a self made Public Enemy T-Shirt. Yes, those were the times before the Internet where you could not get anything at anytime from anywhere in the world. I was really into Public Enemy. With time and a huge change in musical taste (not to mention a fashion change) which my parents welcomed for a few hours, I kind of forgot about them. When I saw the email asking me if I wanted to photograph them, I jumped at the occasion, not knowing what to expect. I was not disappointed. I was actually more than surprised. I was thrown back in time from the first few seconds and had a blast photographing them.
Public Enemy has still got it, …. and I am thinking about getting that Beastie Boys CD out again…..
Photographically it was not the most difficult one to photograph. The light was quite good and varied, with the occasional bright white spotlight. I used the 28-75F2.8 for this gig only, but that’s only because we didn’t get the 3 promised songs. I was going to switch to the wide angle as there was a lot going on on stage.
