 This was taken at Nine Inch Nails last show on American soil, during their Wave Goodbye tour at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. I had a blast! I didn't think I would get a chance to take any photos, since I was squeezed right up front and stuck in the mosh pit. But I quickly remembered I had my camera and lenses in my backpack with no other protection but a towel wrapped around them so I squeezed my way further back and to the side of the crowd. It was still tight, but I was lucky enough to have enough room to raise my arms to take a few pictures. Trent put on a great show! He had a ton of lights and smoke - and it being 2am in the morning it was very dark outside. So most of the photos were either under exposed by it being too dark, or overexposed due to the blinding lights at the back of the stage. But this is one of a few that turned out that I really liked. It is not the best photo ever, but I sure do love it. I don't think it will do that well here - but I guess that is how it goes!

Very moody atmospheric shot. Love the silhouette with only the arm in the light. Don't imagine this will do great here, but I really like it, great work!
