Chuck Berry - Call this "How to engineer a shot when there are 3,000-plus people in the audience in a club that supposed to hold 2,000 and the fire department is about to close it down on its opening night." But when you look at the photo its just him, a moment caught in time, with no hint of the ensuing panic. I was shooting on stage waiting for "the shot" ... snap the camera, or rather the photographer, creates his own reality.
