I'm a freelance and amature photographer who covers the music scene in Washington D.C. I dig music and I dig photography. So, I combined the two. BONUS!
Hey! My name's Mike and I'm an amature/semi-pro photographer with a big itch for snapping photos. I'm also a musician myself. I ain't that great, but I have my fun. :-) I dig music. I dig photography. Sign me up, gawdamnit!
I'm no seasoned pro, but my photographs have been used in a Fender Guitars/Jackson Guitars catalog, CD covers n' inlay cards, the Washington Post, artist promo 8x10's, posters, a bunch of websites, etc. Hey, no Rolling Stone articles (almost had one!), but what the heck, right? I cover gigs or special events, maybe some porn (kidding. sort of.). I use professional grade gear and shoot all digital. I do a lot of word-of-mouth work, but hit me up if you're looking for some shots!
In my music life and photography life, I prefer and abuse the following stuff:
Who I'd like to meet:
I'm always up for meeting people who are interested in music photography. I usually get my photography 'gigs' by contacting clubs and bands directly. Lot of word of mouth. It's great!

525 Eastern Blvd. Essex, MD 21221 410-391-8919 Show starts at 10:00 No opening band!!!
Our goal is to present a mix of Maiden's classic repertoire from the Dickinson and DiAnno eras (No Blaze Bayley- you're welcome!!!) alongside some of the more obscure favorites. This way, everyone from the casual fan who likes the hits - to the die-hard who knows every lyric to every song - will leave the show feeling satisfied. Even "Eddie" has been known to make a cameo appearance on stage with us.
Seventh Son is comprised of the following:
Gordon Tittsworth - founder/vocalist of the progressive-metal band Images of Eden.
Dave DeMarco - plays with the prog band Oblivion Sun, and Van Halen Tribute, Everybody Wants Some.
James Goetz - drummer of Division as well as Images of Eden (just recently announced), but is playing guitar for us!
Randy Ellefson - has his own instrumental metal band and has released 2 CDs of original music, The Firebard and Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid.
Vince Barille - is a founding member of local sensations Cloudbreak and plays with Wes McDonough.
Division with Jon Oliva's Pain; Circle II Circle; & Manticora!
This Friday (Oct 10th) at Jaxx Nightclub!
