One year ago today you could say that I was riding pretty
high. I had just completed a most exciting year of photography, My Lovely
Assistant and I had just moved into the new Head Office, we were but a few
weeks away from the arrival of The Heir Apparent. That night, I headed in
to Montreal to photograph a triple-bill at the Théâtre Corona, headlined by
Dutch symphonic metal band, Epica.
As usual, I showed up early at the venue because I want to be as close to the
stage as possible in case there was no photo pit. My stomach sank a
little bit when I arrived as the line to enter the building already streched
down the block and around the corner. Luckily, there was a pit that night
so everything ended up okay, but I was a little worried there
for a while in that line. Joining Epica on stage that night were Blackguard
and The
Agonist. I later learned both bands were from Montreal and that
had probably been the reason for the huge line that I found myself in earlier
in the night. All three bands put on a great performance that night and
just like that, I was off to what I thought was going to be a terrific
year. What is it that they say about the best laid plans? The first
photograph, taken while Blackguard was performing, was taken at f/2.8, 1/80sec,
ISO 6400 at 24mm. The second photograph, taken while The Agonist
performed, was taken at f/2.8, 1/200sec, ISO 6400 at 39mm. Here are two
other photographs that were taken while Epica performed up on the stage.
