This was the second time I covered Made in America Festival, the first being the inaugural one in 2012.  I skipped 2013 but was excited to be back this year with Kanye headlining figuring this might be one of the few chances I get to shoot him.  But it was like taking Kate Beckinsale to a cocktail party on your one and only date, and she wore a burka.  The silhouettes are what most of us ended up getting.  But towards the end of the 2 songs I decided to overexpose the shot in hopes of getting some detail in Kanye and then brought the highlights back.  Happy with what I got.

Compared to 2012, this year didn’t seem to have the same energy in terms of the bands on the line-up.  2012 we had acts like The Hives and Janelle Monae.  This time we didn’t.
