Heroes
Our Armed Forces and anyone else who puts themselves in harms way for the benefit of others. Police, Firemen, EMT's, etc. If I had to pick a musician as a hero it would probably be Chuck Berry. He still rocks after all these years. As for drummers, Tommy Aldridge would probably be my one of my favorites.
About me: I'm a professional photographer and musician from Pottstown, Pennsylvania which is in in Southeastern Pennsylvania. I started playing drums at 12 years old and played with several Pottstown area rock bands. Most notably "The Toys" and "Witch's Brew". I was a drummer/vocalist in "Witch's Brew" and covered most of the lead vocals while playing drums. I'm not currently playing in any bands. But, I'm open to suggestions and very interested in writing and recording original material. I'm also a 2001 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and am a certified professional photographer. I was published in "Eastern Fly Fishing Magazine" in the summer of 2006 for an article I wrote about a trout fly that I created. One of my favorite hobbies is fly fishing. Being both a musician and a photographer, It only makes sense that one of my main interests is photographing Rock Bands. If you're a band in the southeastern Pennsylvania area in need of a photographer, give me a call or send me an email. My contact info. is on my web site. Photo CD's are available to bands at reasonable rates. I was a wedding photographer for about 7 years. I've taken a break from that recently to pursue other interests. There's quite a variety of photographic subjects on my web site. Some of those subjects include Rock Bands, Biker Events, Car shows, Graffiti, Sunsets, Landscapes, Fireworks, Fly Fishing, Fly Tying, Nature, Black and White Fine Art, Area News Events, Fires, Accidents, Reptiles, Snakes, Flowers, etc. I'll photograph just about anything that captures my interest. I was one of the official photographers for Musikfest in 2009. It Rocked ! You can stop by and check out my photography work at www.RobValineimages.com
