I had the pleasure of spending a full day with MC Hammer and his production crew. Hammer was filming a video for an inspirational song written in response to September 11th, with proceeds going to families of the victims.
We started at XM Satellite Radio studios — shooting on set and in the studio — then moved to the National Cathedral for the second half of the day. Hammer was everything you'd hope: hard-working, talented, and genuinely one of the nicest people I've met.
These are the first photos I ever took with my new Nikon D1X. Shot entirely with available light, images reduced to 25% of original size.
