*Don't spend any time on this page. Go download an MP3 from one of the bands.
*I only post images of bands who's music I like. Please understand that who I am, what I do and anything else pertaining to me is not the point of this site.
*I hope to expose some of the exceptional bands that I've seen and give back to the rich environment that I've been lucky to experience. I do this because it makes me happy, not money.
*I'm a big fan of 'Fair Use' clauses in Copyright laws. BANDS CAN STEAL AND POST their own images or LINK or both as they wish. Credit is appreciated, but not so important that you have to contact me first.
*Everyone else, Don't REPRODUCE these images for PROFIT without consulting with ME AND/OR THE BAND. If they say it's cool, then it's cool by me. Just let me know so that I can offer you higher resolution images for whatever it is you're doing. No sense in feeding the lawyers.
*That being said, most of these should look pretty decent printed at 8x10. I typically post all images in that format. Want to print them at 13x19? Let me know, I've got TIFF versions of all at 8x10 and some at 13x19. My photon-harvester is a Minolta Dimage A200. I use Noise Ninja, SharpControl, and PaintShopPro9. I use rear-sync a lot with a gigantic Canon 577G Flashgun. If you really like one of these images and you don't have access to a printer capable of 'photo-quality' let me know and I'll probably hook you up if you know the secret handshake.
Many more bands and photos to come.

NOTE: It's taken me a while to figure out the 'ideal' file size for images I post here. Most web images end up being less than 500K, and the compromise shows. My current approach is to choose the compression-value that gives a 1MB jpeg (+ or - 100K) from the original TIFF file (usually 20+ MB) that is approximately 8 inches long for it's shortest dimension. In Enlglish, I take an 8x10 TIFF and compress it to an 8x10 JPEG with a 1MB size or smaller. Can you spot the difference? I hope not. What if you want a copy of the original tiff? Email me and we can arrange to deliver a CD-R. Easy as that.
Last, but not least, if you don't like one of the pictures of your band that I chose to post... don't look so stupid when you're up there playing. That was a joke. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was.
