New Year's Eve 1996 in Tempe |
||||||
I highly recommend Tempe, Ariz. on New Year's Eve at least once in your life. The city, along with the Tostito's promotional people, put on a block party that cannot be beat. The party doubles as a pre-game and New Year's celebration. There were six stages of entertainment in 1996 along an eight-block-long party route. Just about anyone could find the kind of music he or she preferred. I took the opportunity to watch the Monkees in person on the stage located behind our hotel. |

The pictures shown here were shot using existing light on Konica 3200 speed film. This was an experiment that didn't quite go the way I hoped. Much of the problem is in the way concert stage lighting is done these days. It's hard to shoot a picture with bright light behind the subject. Mike Nesmith did not play with the band that night. He later rejoined the group for a summer tour. |
