Had the pleasure of shooting Weird Al at the Coronado Theatre in Rockford, IL as part of their annual On the Waterfront festival. Fun to shoot, lots of costume changes, moves around quite a bit. Everything shot with 5Dmk2 and 70-200 2.8IS. Here are a few shots:

1.

2. He was barely visible around a cabinet, and I managed to get a quick one. Too bad he was cut off

4. This one looks great in high-res. While performing "Smells Like Nirvana" he gargles water while singing, which made for a great photo op.

Also shot Adam Lambert and Billy Idol, which I'll post soon.

As always, C&C welcome, and thanks for looking.

He's one of the best live performers I've ever seen. =) So much energy.
