Thank you, Brad! Yes, I think so :)

Holy shit, are you making a living off your photos? How did you make the shift into employed concert photographer? Or are you technically freelance/work through enough referrals to where you kind of have your own business? I mean holy hell, your photos always speak for themselves (damned good imo), so it was frankly only a matter of time, but I would love to hear about the journey you've taken.

You're pretty much the only person I pseudo-know that has succeeded in any way as a concert photographer, so I'm super interested in learning how you did it. Do you get a majority of your paid work lined up through actual concert photography, or is it mainly promo shots, or publishing royalties?
 
Probably has something to do with non-camera enthusiasts not caring to read camera geeks orgasm over zoom lense descriptions and shutter speed.
 
Only three people post in the photography thread; Chase, Hubster and myself. Even Alina, the resident photog we all love, doesn't even post in it.

I always hope that when I see a new post in that thread, it's one of the non-photography people giving their opinion on what looks good and what doesn't. It's never the case though, EVER.

That's pretty dumb, specifically because you don't need to have a huge background in either camera gear or the photo techniques used to say "this looks good/bad".
 
Photos are posted all the time. Hell, me and Chase just shot Amon Amarth in two different states/venues and Hubster just posted some pole-dancing stuff. When I finish working on more Amon Amarth stuff I'm going to post it, along with some older stuff from The Power of the Riff that I forgot to put up here.
