Green Day by Catherine McGann

Green Day had just hit it big and I was assigned by Entertainment Weekly magazine to shoot the band backstage at Madison Square Garden in the fall of 1994.  I wasn’t given much time, about ten minutes, during which they continually laughed, joked and goofed around.  My time was up and I made for the exit.  They must have thought I was gone because on the way out I turned around to say goodbye and witnessed this scene.  They’d finally stopped clowning and I knew right away this was the shot.  I took out my Nikon again, and this photo was the last frame left on the roll… I love that they are hugging their stuffed animals, and you get a sense of just how young they were, like little boys.  I like to think this shot proves my theory that the best photos are given to you, you can’t plan them, they just happen. 

Edition 100 was created to give fans and collectors a chance to own pictures of their favorite bands, or images associated with them, at fair prices.  

 

 

New images are offered at an introductory price, allowing entry-level collectors to begin accumulating what will become a valuable collection.

 

As the editioned prints sell out prices rise.
