these are a few pictures from inside an aqarium in new zealand. we were lucky enough to get the hookup from a local core kid who worked there, and got a “backsatge” tour of the pengiun exibit. notice this is a point where i was using the fisheye lens way too much. ive calmed down with it since then. while taking these pictures i had to be wary of a trolly that would come by every few minutes of people checking out the pengiuns.if i didnt watch out, or have people looking for me, im sure i would have gotten runover. pretty high octane photo journalisum.

this picture was taken on the manahattan bridge, on my way biking to the last wage of sin show. about 5 seconds after this was taken a serious rainstorm took over the city. ofcourse i was stuck in it. i still made my was to the show, only to find that i missed it entirely. i got to see them load out. sweeet. anyhow it makes for a cool image cause you can see the storm over the city already.

i can remember the night in long island. just moving from atlanta to a new town, didnt know too many people and feeling always a bit lost. i lived in a room just off the kitchen in our upstairs apartment. tommy was always out with his girlfriend and i was always at work so we never saw each other too often. but that night he pulled back my curtain at about midnight. “yo dude, silent majority just broke up” well there was no question about it, no rumor mill because tommy sang for them. i was crushed. not too many bands strike a chord with me like they did. thier last show was a mix of emotions and i was a very sad man to see them bow out when they did. but i now had a chance too see them again. and they never lost step. heres a few pics that i hope can show what a special night it was for everyone. thanks guys.
