Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper
Originally uploaded by boxy

I’ve shamelessly stolen this idea from Sydney’s Dan Boud’s photoblog Boudist posting my most “interesting” photo according to Flickr, and it is this shot of Alice Cooper.

The Alice Cooper shoot was interesting, instead of the standard three songs, no flash, photographers were given four shots and told to knock themselves out with the flash. Unfortunately at this point in my photographic purchasing I did not own a flash, but the lights were so awesome that the piddly little on camera flash on my 400D would have just destroyed the shot.

About this blog

Welcome to the web addled musings of the Box.

I really don’t want to turn this into a personal ad so here are the basics. I live in Canberra, I work as a teacher during the day and music website editor by night. I picked up photography as a way of getting closer to the artists I love and instantly became addicted. In 2007 I shot over fifty live shows and over the course of the year spent an inordinate amount of money on my hobby.

I’m not interested in becoming a professional photographer, photography is a way for me to show my appreciation to bands for their great music.

Throughout 2008 I’ll be uploading my best music photos to this site to showcase the work of many hardworking Australian musicians and bands. I will also be writing a bit about the shows to compliment the images.
This is the digital version of a visual diary that I plan on completing.It is a place for me to store memories of gigs past on the web…Enjoy!
