The Invocation, 2005
The Avalon, Boston, MA
This was a 1/10th second exposure in pitch darkness, taken without flash - in other words, I was completely blind to what I was shooting at. This is a very rare shot, because the lighting in the venue was positioned in just the right way so that the main guy in the scene was illuminated, and I am amazed by how it came out. This photo was taken at a Paul Oakenfold concert in November.
