I got to shoot Tool last Friday night. Super honor. Also was my first time shooting at Hampton Coliseum. This was a great opportunity and I loved it. The bummer of the thing was that I only got the first song to be up there. I unfortunately wasted a good 20-30 seconds switching out lenses, which flustered me. Also, they had heavy fog machine presence throughout the song so there was a haze over many of the pics.
I don't know if it was nerves, or lack of time, or the fog, but I'm not thrilled with the results. However, they are here nonetheless, as I was the only photographer there and I'd hate for there to be no record of it. I wish I'd been able to shoot more from further away, as the light show and art on the screens was definitely more visually rad than Maynard.
Stay tuned for a review on AltDaily in the coming days.
