  • Heroes

    Anyone who stands up for animal rights. People like Linda McCartney who really made a difference. Or tried to. People who work for, help out or support animal rights organisations like PETA, BUAV, VIVA!, SHAC, SPEAK, Animal Aid etc. My diabetic, epileptic dog Sammi who died on Sept 21, 2005... my best friend forever. My first dog Shep who died when I was 18. Fave Quote: 'We won't lose our lives if we speak out against animal wrongs wherever we see them. But the animals do lose theirs if we don't. So we must.' - Ingrid Newkirk, PETA.

    Charities & organisations that test HUMANELY and not on animals. Click here for a list of the charities that are good and bad: http://www.peta.org.uk/cmp/viv-charlist.asp. We're not living in the 16th century anymore. Animal tests are cruel and futile. Millions of people die every year from side effects of medicine tested on animals. Click the Dr Hadwen Trust banner opposite for info on alternative humane tests that are more accurate and efficient.

About me:

I'm the editor of Black Velvet Zine - visit the Black Velvet website for more info at www.blackvelvetmagazine.com. Also go add the Black Velvet MySpace page to your friends list if you haven't already. www.myspace.com/blackvelvetmagazine.

Aside from editing the zine, doing interviews, reviewing shows, laying out the zine and a million other things to do with the zine, I also take a lot of concert photos and photos in general. I'm at my happiest when in a photopit with my Nikon D3 (and D2x).

This page is showcasing some of the photos I've taken. Check the photos section and the slide show below to see some of my faves.

More photos can be found at:

Got Livejournal? Add www.livejournal.com/users/blackvelvetmag

Interested in using one of my photos in your magazine? Want photos taken? Contact me. Local bands, if you want live photos or band photos taken get in touch for cheap rates.

If you want any written articles, interviews, reviews... or even need work proofread, contact me. I'm open to new projects.

I'm vegan and straight edge. I love animals too much to eat them (or wear them). I hate all forms of animal cruelty. Becoming vegan was one of the best things I ever did (if not THE best thing).

As the editor of Black Velvet, I'm a hard worker. I work on Black Velvet every day of my life. I have high standards. When I interview bands, I spend a long time working on GOOD questions. I pride myself in my ability to produce in-depth articles and interviews that both the band themselves and their fans and even the average reader will not only appreciate, but hopefully admire. I meticulously strive for questions the interviewee won't have been asked a ton of times before. I research, research, research. I'm a perfectionist always aiming for perfection.

As a concert photographer, a similar thing. I concentrate on taking the best photos as possible and am very hard-working. Most nights I have a show, I will come home, go through photos and put some on the Black Velvet website, often staying up till 3 or 3.30am (sometimes even 4am) to get them up quickly... before having to get up for work at 8am the next morning. Thank God for energy drinks.

I'm very passionate about what I do, and what I love to do. If I believe in something, I will always give 110%.

My pet hate is bands and others who add you just to try and spam my/your comments section with adverts about their product or band. Your comment will not be approved if it is trying to tell us to buy your CD or about your latest show. If you are interested in being in Black Velvet send a press kit/CD to the address in the printed zine. Please don't try to spam my comments section. Thank you!
