Personal Project: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Redesign

A few months ago, about 6 or so weeks into the pandemic, and after not shooting for several weeks, I got the itch and needed to photograph something. Since the remodel of the Nassau Coliseum redesign a few years back, every time I passed it, I always said to myself: I need to go out there and photograph it. With some time to kill I decided to go out and grab a few shots. It is pretty rare to get clean shots with no cars in the lot so this proved to be the perfect opportunity to try and get some images.

The place means a lot to me personally, as I grew up about 15 minutes away and visited often. From Islander games, Disney on Ice with the kids to Dead and Company and Metallica concerts, this place has always been one of my favorite venues. My most favorite show is probably Phish in 2003 which was an incredible night.

Enjoy some of the image from the Coliseum redesign.
