Band Photog

I recently advertised on craigslist, offering my limited (read:zero) skills for free to any local bands looking for some shots.  I had a few responses and ended up booking a shoot with a local band called The Steady - http://www.myspace.com/thesteadymusic.  Here's an example of what I churned out...

Hopefully I can continue to hone some skills and someday consider myself a photographer, but if not, I can still call myself a musician,  Happy New Year!
