<p>There is more like that if you scroll towards the end of my Flickr gallery. I am reconsidering having a proper gallery on this site. Keep checking back, if I find the time I may try to get one up here so I can share some of my non-music related stuff from my pre-concert shooting days. I was going through some cheesy adding campy titles to my pics phase for some reason back then too. Who knows what that was all about. Click &#8216;Read More&#8217; for, um, more.</p>
