Dave Matthews Band Caravan - August 26th
[ New York City ]
Last weekend I flew up to New York to shoot the Dave Matthews Band Caravan concert series on Governors Island. Mother nature however had other plans for me. The weekend of the festival Hurricane Irene crushed the east coast canceling the last two days of the festival and shutting down the city of New York. They shut down everything including the transit system for one of the first times in history. I spent the remaining two days locked in my friends apartment over in Brooklyn watching movies and surfing the web. We were lucky enough that Irene didn't cause much damage at all where we were, but sadly enough the rest of the country wasn't as lucky. Hurricane Irene wound up by most estimates as one of the top ten most destructive and deadly hurricanes to hit the United States since 1980. While ultimately not as powerful as many had predicted, the storm still killed at least 40 people along its path from the Caribbean to the eastern seaboard. Transportation was shut down all along the east coast, stranding residents and tourists in shelters, airports, and train stations. More than 5.8 million people lost electricity, thousands of flights were cancelled, flooding washed out roads and destroyed homes, and evacuation orders were issued for hundreds of thousands. But please take a couple moments to check out the photos that I did get to take. Thank you!
