Out on an Island...

No actual posts this week - am taking the week off for the holiday here in the US - that said, I want to sincerely thank you for sticking with me on this experiment, especially those of you kicking down some cash to be a paid supporter. Am currently working on some goodies for paid supporters but for now, my words of thanks will have to do.

…everybody and their dog wants to take punk photos nowadays, not just concert photos. "I wanna take punk photos." It amazes me. There's the video, “Black Flag Reunion 1983” that's on YouTube… there's 3,000 people there, and I was the only person between the barricade and the stage. And out of that whole crowd, I'm the only person visible taking pictures. What a concept. You know? Now you're elbowing everybody and can't see through all the phones taking shitty pictures… how many times have you gotten a good picture on your phone? It doesn't work.

Next week, we’ll back to the regular schedule, kicking off Monday with my interview with the legendary LA photographer, Ed Colver as well as a slew of new reviews and miscellaneous thoughts… until then, stay punk!
