I wanted to try to get a picture of the classic KISS line up. With the added challenge of including Eric Singer in the picture facing forward with head up to see him. With this goal in mind I was focused on Eric when I took this picture. Snapping pictures, having him in view, I thought I might get lucky and come out of it with a winner. It just depended on Gene, Tommy and Paul. Would they be doing something interesting? Would they be a blur? Would they be looking away? There are so many factors to getting a really good live action group photo. When I got home and looked through my pictures I knew this was a good one, although the lighting is off a little. Tommy was looking into my camera and smiling and Eric Singer was in the picture the way I wanted him to be. I moved it to the "good" file to go over another day. I had taken 100's of KISS pics up to this point. (I'm still going through them). Well, surprise! As I was cropping this (this is the cropped version) I noticed Gene is almost touching his nose with his tongue! Now, how many times have you heard someone ask, "I wonder if Gene can touch his tongue to his nose"? Make sure you go over your pictures carefully. You never know when you might find a surprise. Photo is from the Boston show on August 7, 2010.
