“I am covered in feathers and I’m not sure what I just witnessed”

Those were the first words I tweeted right after this show ended. Nuns, John McCain masks, machine guns, glitter, roller skaters, a hanging, feathers, a coffin full of shaving cream, and a plethora of other random weirdness later, the winner for ‘Most Sensory Overload In A Live Show’ goes to Of Montreal. I still don’t think I’ve fully processed what happened, not to mention the fact that months later I’m still discovering glitter and bits of feather in my camera bag.

Being able to shoot the full show was both a blessing and a curse–so many different scenes to choose from makes it very difficult to edit down. I ended up shooting 7Gb at this show, but sadly, about 3Gb somehow went missing, so much of the debauchery won’t be shown below. If I locate the images, I will update this post.

Apologies for the lack of updates. If you check any of my other sites, you probably already know that I just had gallbladder surgery a few days ago, and have been taking it easy. Things should be getting back to normal soon.

The Of Montreal show was crazy. Probably the most difficult show I’ve had to shoot. There was no photo pit and the crowd was pushing so hard that I basically had to hold my arms in one position and pray that I didn’t get shoved over. It was bone-crushingly cramped in there, and I felt like I was going to throw up after the show ended.
