Saw a show on PBS about this Rock and Role Shooter

This dude has been htting the bricks for over 40 years now but he really hooked up with the right people early in his career. His parents early on kept asking him why he was doing what he was doing and he just said that it was his passion and it took many years for it to come to making some decent $. His sister said that later in life his parents really respected what he did early on.

The guy has a great eye! Still shooting too!

Great documentary... says he has over 200,000 images in his archive... wonder how many images he shot over the years?

Well since he has gone digital no telling how much time behind the lens and how many shots have been taken. It was really cool that he was able to work with the Jimmie Hendrix foundation and work out things for the betterment of them and him since he has had to deal with an aged parent with althzheimers and the costs that it can run up.

Funny watching his slideshow and realizing that forty years doesn't necessarily bring you great editing skills. Half the pictures were amazing, a quarter were good and the last quarter should've been put back in the archive. I understand why he put them in there - they were pictures of historic music figures, like the one with SRV and Clapton together... but that isn't enough to make a photo amazing.

With that said, he had some really great shots and captured some really great moments in rock and roll history!

Sometimes it's the personality of the shot that makes it..............

Yes, there are several factors that can improve an normally-average shot. I think people should still see all his pics, I just would've hidden a few of them further down in the website - not on the front page slideshow. Save only the very best for what people will initially see! He obviously has enough amazing images to do that.
