I shot the first show of the 2014 Skinny Puppy tour at The Observatory in Orange County. The bands management was kind enough to have me shoot this one at The Mayan in Los Angeles too.
It was the last show of the tour and it turned out to be a very special evening as the band brought out several of their very earliest numbers like "Smothered Hope" and "Glass Houses" for the encore. Did I say encore? I meant encores! The audience was treated to three of them and the band played for over two hours. What a great night but a tough photo shoot for us photographers, let's just say the lighting was challenging, but the results were well worth it. As was all the stage blood Ogre managed to drip on me when I was up in the pit taking pictures! Not the first time I've come out of the pit a bloody mess and probably not the last either.
