If you'd like me to photograph you or your band when playing in Toronto, try asking me. I get a lot of requests, and I can only handle a couple of shows a week, so chances are excellent that I won't be able to make it, but you'll never know if you don't ask. Please take a look at information on my rates:
INVITE PETE TO YOUR CONCERT
I also love to listen to new music, and will sometimes blog about it. If you'd like to send me a CD, email me and I'll let you know where to send it. If I like it, I'm more likely to try to make it out to one of your shows. If I really like it, I may write something up. But please don't expect to be written up in any timely manner. Even though I do not write many reviews, I do listen to it all. Every submission. And more. Thanks to everyone who has submitted music so far. I almost always have a few CDs in the queue, and I like it that way. I get to hear so much talent.
If you've actually bothered to keep reading, here's the bonus information about me: I don't make money from my photography, even including the paid packages. The cost of equipment and incidental expenses far outweighs the money I get paid to do this, but I do it because I love discovering new music. And I really do just want to help great indie bands succeed.
I've been into photography for years, but it tooke me a long time to figure out I could mix my love for photography with my love for music. I find it satisfying and heaps of fun. Plus working with musicians has been a great experience, mostly because I highly value their work. Aside from taking pictures of concerts, I also like to photograph rusty metal, sea and sand, plastic action figures, and people. Yes, I said "action figures" – I'm talking to you Barbie.
