This was my first time shooting BLS. I have to say that I was mighty impressed! I am thankful I got to be so close to Mr. Wylde and be able to photograph his "Guitar God" splendor. I would love the opportunity to shoot him on location some day for all you ladies. I have some interesting ideas of portraying him as Thor. His stature and build just reminds me of what a viking of old would look like.

I had never gone to Conventional Hall in Asbury park before this show. I love the old architecture and feel of this place. I had a great vantage point from pretty much any seat in the house. Shooting in this venue was very pleasant with good room in the barricade and pretty good lighting for a venue it's size.

I have had the opportunity to shoot Children of Bodom before and they never dissapoint. This is one of my favorite shots of the night of Alexi. This was from the Bezerkus Tour with Black Label Society and Clutch.

I have to admit that when I first head about that lineup, I just scratched my head and was curious to see how the night panned out. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the different styles of music and genuinely was entertained the night though.

I am working on the other bands pictures now. Keep an eye out for them soon!

Ok, so now its almost Halloween and to get into the spirit with some zombie fun!

Earlier this month I was part of the phenomenon called a Zombie Walk. This particular one was held in Asbury Park, NJ. What is this and why would anyone want to do this? I will just quote the site here:

WHAT IS A ZOMBIE WALK?

A Zombie Walk is an organized gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes and then converge quickly in a public area for surprise and fun. Walks usually in urban areas such as shopping malls or town squares. Participants arrive at a pre-determined time (often at a hidden location) and then emerge as a group to creep in a somewhat orderly fashion through shocked and amused crowds, towards a final destination (usually a cemetery, club, bar or after party).

During the Walk, all participants are encouraged to remain in character as zombies, lurching, shambling, dragging limbs and communicating only in a zombie-like manner (such as grunting, groaning, moaning and slurred calls for “brains”.) Zombie Walks are always free events. With the exception of Zombie Pub Crawls, most walks are family-friendly, so participants of all ages are welcome to join in the fun.

A friend of mine, Jason Meehan, and his wife Christina were the responsible party of bringing the "Zombie infection" to the great ol' Garden State. Please visit their website for the NJ Zombie Walk .

Please enjoy some of the fun pics I took at the walk below.

Where the hell is Waldo man?

This is Jason Meehan- He and his wife are responsible for the Mayhem!
