RIP Michael Jackson

A great talent passes on. Remebering when this shot was taken @ Wembley Stadium. It was the day after some photographer had used a very long lens and spotted his nose was looking VERY strange. All photographer’s bags were peered into by record company girls who knew nothing of 2x converters for long telephotos… The chap who had shot him the day before was banned from being in the stadium, but was on the rota to be there that night too. Apparently there was talk of him shooting from a helicopter!

The show was fantastic, and great to be at the front of – even though it was just 3 songs…

The review for The Register is up today, ten pages of photos and comment on this new fantastic version of the 5D. I really didn’t want to send this back. It is ideal for everything I do. Have to wait in line for availability…..
