Information
"The guys were about to go on and play to around 3000 people at the NEA Awards and I was there, security thought I was with the Smithsonian, I didn't deny it. It was almost dark but I knew the only way to take this picture was with direct flash a la Weegee - this is one of a handful of picture I have produced in this way, I prefer ambient light.
As you would expect I blinded them temporarily as the flash fired, its best I don't tell you what they described me as when they passed by enroute to the stage." William Ellis, 2011
Equipment: Leica M6 with 35mm lens, flash.
