I have a couple websites that are using my Chimaira photos:
Keetch Clothing from Europe has a picture of Matt DeVries wearing a Keetch T-Shirt in rotation on the front page of their website.

Dean Markley Strings has a picture of Rob Arnold on their endorsing artist website.

Now the new Taproot Music Video for "Wherever I Stand" has my photos in it......

Please go and check it out (even if you don't like them) and let me know what you think.

Story behind the video:
The video was originally shot in LA by Director Jus10. But Taproot's Management didn't like the fact that there wasn't any live band footage. So I got the phone call from the and first asking for me to help out. Next thing I know I have their management and Jus10 calling me about setting things up and how to shoot the footage. It was an incredible opportunity that I just couldn't pass up. My part of the video was shot in High Speed Burst mode (to be as close to the original version) since I don't have the $30,000 camera they used in LA. The entire video is ALL photos. So when your watching the video and see any Black & White photos of the band playing/singing or just the things around them, those are ALL mine.

I also have my photos on the Artwork Cover for the Online-Single of Wherever I Stand seen here: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EYTqjLOWL._SS500_.jpg

In September I went out to Western Massachusetts for a Photography Seminar with Jeremy Saffer (www.jeremysaffer.com (http://www.jeremysaffer.com)). Learned some tips/tricks for Studio Photography, which I hope to get into more. Thy Will Be Done (www.myspace.com/thywillbedonemetal (http://www.myspace.com/thywillbedonemetal)) & Shai Hulud (www.myspace.com/profoundhatred (http://www.myspace.com/profoundhatred)) were both available as our in studio models for practice with all our photography needs. So head on over to my website and check out the photos from the studio shoot under the Portraits & More section.

I don't doubt that at all; I did like it quite a bit though... Back in that day, I was still just getting into metal, and for me it was that "bridge" that brought me from softer shit into heavier music... amen for Taproot!!! \m/ lolz

How was Coheed's set, Mez? Idk if you're familiar with any of their songs but I'm going to see em tomorrow and am wondering what they'll be playing.

Great pics as always!

Coheed's set was solid.

they were actually pretty good. don't know their material at all, other than what i hear on video games and radio (if i listen to it at all). but they did play the trooper and that was awesome..
