Tweeting on Twitter

Ok, so I caved in and joined the twitter revolution.

I found it hard enough trying to keep up with Myspace, Deviant Art, Live Journal, Face Book and Flickr.

But now I had to give twitter a go, but I have to say that I am finding it quite addictive just now!

Anyway, a very random blog, I know, but I just wanted post this image (that I did for my twitter background!) and thought I should at least explain why I have put it here!

I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend and plan to chill out today and update my various blogs and sites. Have a good weekend people.

Where have you been Jim?

I have had a couple of emails recently from gig photographers asking where I have been and that I have missed out on a few decent concerts. The truth is I have not gone anywhere, I have just been busy.

The thing with gig photography, is that unless you have been asked by the band/promoter/PR people to shoot the event, it is very hard to get a pass to do so.

I finish work in a couple of weeks down here in the Midlands and I am moving back to the North East to concentrate on press and pr work. Hopefully I will be able to shoot more concerts and do what I love doing. I need to make more contacts in the music business to secure a pass. It really is a case of who you know. Have a look at the image I have included below, it shows a couple of photographers in a busy pit with professional DSLR's, and then at the back some kid with a point and click camera!



Here is a great video to leave you with:
