©... Yup, this little symbol has meaning.

All of my images became mine the second I tripped the shutter. I don't care wether or not they are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, they belong to me.

Shooting live music... I can't think of an easier way to end up with your pockets turned inside out. Throughout my so-called career as a music photographer, I've held down regular ol' full-time jobs to pay for the majority of cameras, lenses, film, processing, digital cameras, more lenses, fucking computers, software, and (the list goes on)... just to keep doing what I love to do.

The images on this site act as my portfolio and are not watermarked because it makes them look like shit. I didn't spend the time and energy creating them... so I could show them to the world with a big, ugly watermark covering them up. I want them to be seen in all of their glory.

So... please don't steal my work. Contact me first, I'm a pretty reasonable guy... I've been known to work for, as little as, free beer. Some form of compensation usually makes everyone involved feel better in the end.

If you plan to rip me off anyway, please try and refrain from altering my images, and at least have enough respect to give me a proper photo credit (www.myconcertphotography.com). Making that credit a link back to my site would make you an even nicer thief. 

Thanks in advance...
