About Me

"Virginia's premier concert photographer, with over 20 years experience..."Some of my favorite things are music, photography, and cars...kinda in that order. I have taken photographs for YEARS, but really love photographing bands on stage. It's truly one of my biggest guilty pleasures.MOST of the concert/band photos you see on my page were taken by me. I have a full-time job (unrelated to music OR photography) and don't get paid for taking photos. I do it because I LOVE it...and for hugs from Stevie...


Rock on the Range 2008 photos: Sevendust, Black Tide, Drowning Pool, Papa Roach, Three Doors Down, Finger 11, Seether, and Bobaflex photos. For all the photos from this show, they can be found on my website.

My Interests

www.LynnShook.comI love you and I miss you Eugene. It hurts so much to know that I will never see your smile or hear your voice again. You are forever in my heart, where you have been since we first met.My girl, Leah and MY MAN...LOL"What I'm looking for are the answers to why these questions never go away"My RICHMOND, VA BOYZ!!!Lamb of GodAnd...GWAR!Lajon from Sevendust showing some Virginia Tech Hokie love!!!Yeah, Kat is a "nipple" girl...LOLMike Ivey at Journey's End Tattoo in RichmondHe's a badass and a teddy bear all in one.This isn't a hard one to figure out...is it??? I'm a music NUT, and I go to an average of 40-50 concerts each year (and I think I'm on the LOW side).I REALLY love fast cars, especially Corvettes. I own one, and would love to have another one some day!

I'd like to meet:

***Rob Halford..."THE" Metal God!

Music:

I like it all...well, almost. I don't particularly like bluegrass or country music, and I'm not fond of hardcore rap. I mostly listen to hard rock and heavy metal, they'll always be my favorites!!!Dave Novotny from Saliva...what is it about bass players???Jon Montoya, Saliva's new BAD-ASS guitar player!Josey Scott from Saliva...Comin' down like a hatchet, rolling with the masses...CJ from Drowning Pool is badassAnd so are ALL the guys in Buckcherry...I can't even tell you how GORGEOUS this guitar was that Keith had in Va Beach. The photo doesn't do it justice. What can I say???G.A.M. The "X" or is it "XXX"***Wes Borland's new group...Black Light BurnsMegadeth, never one of my faves, but what an incredible show. Dave Mustaine looked wonderful, and I was in awe over that drum kit!

Movies:

Horror movies rock! I'm totally hooked on them, and always looking for a good scare!

Television:

I don't get a chance to watch a lot, but I love Law and Order, Miami Ink, and anything music related.I'm finding myself watching more sports these days... Tennis player...anyone???By default...I've been a Redskins fan since I was a child. I think I have finally chosen my own favorite team...GO BROWNS!!!

Books:

Unfortunately, I don't have the time or the attention span. I've spent a lot of time in school and still spend a tremendous amount of time in classes, so I don't find reading pleasureable.

Heroes:

Here are just a COUPLE of my pics from one of the Motley Crue and Aerosmith shows. I need a whole site just for my pictures...
