tree.jpgtoday, i was given the opportunity to take promotional pictures of "the" band who got me into metal and hardcore. i'm such a fan boy of this band, that i even have their lyrics tattooed on my body. i've never been more nervous about taking band pictures than i was today.

i had previously met all the members of the band, except the vocalist. he was as intimidating as i expected. every time we would move locations, he wanted to see the pictures. i normally don't like to show people the pictures before they've been post-processed, but there was no way i wasn't going to allow him.

he taught me to be more vocal when i'm taking pictures. tell them how to posture their bodies, raise their chins, turn their bodies. i'm a bad director, but he helped me realize that i'm technically at fault if i don't get a good shot. it was definitely a learning experience that i'm grateful for, along with the opportunity.

it would take a lot to top the shoot today, for the sheer fact of who i did it with. if you're wondering who it is, for some reason not been able to figure it out, and want to see some pictures, well, too bad. it's a secret...at least for a little longer.

I'm glad you set up your own website and I'm adding it to my favorites right now. It's always fun to see what creative shots you've come up with lately, so feel flattered that you are the inspiration for beginning photographers like me. Oh, and I'm dying to know who the band is that got you into hardcore music. Hurry up and post the pics already!
