A friend of mine is the drummer from a well known (and quickly gaining fame) hardcore band called "The Devil Wears Prada"
www.myspace.com/tdwp

They were #6 on the Billboard indie charts for record sales, and are doing very well with themselves (100k a month split between 6 guys + 3k of merchandise a show)

Right now they're doing a supporting tour with Underminded, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Emery, and Chiodos.

Anyways,

Met up with Daniel @ The Avalon in Hollywood.

Traffic was so bad I missed the first 3 sets



Daniel is really nice. He hooked me up in Los Angeles with me + 1.

Shots from the show

Emery









Chiodos

































my favorite shot from that night


I need noise ninja

So because I missed his los angeles set, I decided to go to san diego to see his set there.

Stayed in their apartment... :hey:



Took 2 of the girls to the concert and met up with cadaver again.

Underminded:




The Devil Wears Prada






Cadaver


He's good at drums because he has 4 arms.






Actually, I'm not going to post anymore photos.

If you wanna see more, click my site in my sig, then click blog.


Real fun time, comments/critique appreciated.

What kind of camera? I'm starting to get into photography a lot more now that I don't have my camera with me. I've got an old K1000 type Konica (I think), and I'm looking into picking up a Holga, as well as a decent digital.

Nice pictures, Rich. I like the angle you used on most of them. I think black and white is definitely your strong point. Keep up the good work.

Sam, I believe he's using a Nikon D100, a digital SLR.

I envy your talent. I can do monochrome, but not as well as that... Maybe you should try using a Rebel.

Love the girl in purple.

Same.
I was thinking about going to a concert with Emery and Devil Wears Prada.
I've never heard them before, I'll have to check them out.
Awesome pictures.

Damn, that's good stuff (even though I'm not a fan of the bands). Are you currently employed by a newspaper or something for photography?

No , It would be awesome if I could sell the pictures to someone like Alternative Press or something along those lines.

I'm just doing it as a jobby hahaha. not my ultimate goal in life.

Have you tried? I don't want to try to be a life coach, but I've heard some publications pay decent money for good shots.

Yep Nikon D100

Great pics.

Love the girl in purple.

The one on the far left? Ya I took her to the show and the asian girl. I've been infatuated with her for at least 2 years secretly.

A lot of my shots lack the fine technical tuning needed. I emailed alternative press the links to my portfolios as well as some more underground magazines, but haven't heard anything back. Next is band managers and press kit stuff.

Great band.

Great pictures.

What ISO was your shutter on? The pictures look a little blurry, so you might want to increase the ISO speed.

I actually had the one 2nd to the right in my mind, but all's good!

EDIT: On the topic of photography... Do you have any race tracks near you? I've gone to few track days (basically practice runs on a race track) to watch automotive racing (I'm still autocrossing right now and am probably not financially prepared for actual track events), and my older brother does track days for motorcycling. Sometimes they have freelance photographers go out there and take photos of the participants. I believe my brother paid almost $200 for a CD of about 30-40 photos of him racing. It might be something to look into, if you're into that kind of stuff.
