UPDATE DEC, 2007
First of all, Happy Holidays to you! I have updated the website with a new ONLINE STORE For those of you who have read my crisis about the dogfight and the vet bill incurred by that fateful event, I was prompted to make things available to you to purchase so that you may get something out of it & help me at the same time. I added my Gold Edition Benchwarmer Card at a super high price because they come in a boxset with all the other models, I also added my 8x10 to the store along side my 12 avatars calendar (check out my Kirsty Vendetta MYSPACE). All items are available to be personlized the way you want them. Other than that I have added a few more aftershow pics from the Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Devil Driver & Soilwork Show to the "AFTERSHOW" section. I have also edited the main page for "PHOTOS I TAKE" so that the first page you click on will have an index of the available albums. I will have a new benchwarmer card coming out soon... it has a bio on me that features my talents and also mentions my photography of bands such as Lamb of God, Fear Factory & Anthrax - I love the person who wrote my bio - great job! You'll be able to see it soon. I will be attending NAMM 2008 for The Gauntlet & Ron Estrada of The Metal Scene. Add the METAL SCENE MYSPACE HERE you can view previous pics from NAMM 2007 HERESo what are you doing for NYE? I will be go go dancing at The Karma Foundation's party @ Les Deux with a live performance by Mickey Avalon & special guest drummer Travis Barker! Buy tickets HERE |
|
IMPORTANT!!!
I am trying to fundraise money to help me with a vet bill incurred by a dog fight. My dog and the other dog were both hurt very badly and has left me with a $4000-$5000 bill, below is a paypal link to donate as little as $5 or more to help me out. There are a few pics posted of my old man Bacchus, but you can read the full story on its very own page "Vet Bill Fund" HERE!
PLease note that my website was in the middle of construction so there maybe some whack shite on here but I felt it was important to upload this immediately. I really need your help if you can give it.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2007
Its been awhile folks, but finally I have updated the website with new photos of bands such as Behemoth, HIM, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Divine Heresy, HellYeah, and many more.... I have relabeled some menu titles to allow easy navigation but after this year I will be either catagorizing the albums alphabetically, monthly or by the band's specific name. How I tend to approach this is still unknown. For now you can view the new uploads HERE
To the left you will see my brand new Gold Edition Bench Warmer Rookie Card, Its available for purchase @ BENCHWARMER.COM and a new autographed school girl series is on the way.
Also due to high demand I have included a page especially for Aftershow Events from the shows that I have photographed. It has a vast array of rock n roll/metal moments with the rockers that I am sometimes lucky to call my buddies. Ladies, please note the disclaimer at the bottom of the page. You can find the page in the left column menu... or HERE |

LAMB OF GOD LIVE IN AUCKLAND, NZ
I was present @ The Powerstations first NZ visit from Virginia's very own Lamb of God. They arrived a day early and Sony shouted them to a bungee jump which I was lucky enough to witness (not dumb enough to participate) and took some pics of that which you will see published in the next revolver magazine, plus I will post some up here shortly but for now you can view their live show pics HERE! Infact my camera decided it wasn't going to work anymore and Mr. Blythe allowed me to borrow his very own sony cybershot so I wouldn't come back to the USA empty handed!! Also pending are my pics of Randy's visit to the Auckland mueseum to view the maori culture & performance.... he was a fan of "Once were warriors" and has been determined to learn about the NZ maori culture aswell.
Congratulations to Laura Menzie who won a spot on LOG's very own guestlist that Chris Yong and myself gave away on ALT's Rockzilla show. I hope you had a wonderful time and thank you Chris for the opportunity to guest on your show and giving me the opportunity to do an interview with Willie for your show, hopefully it turns out ok.
Cher Bro!
