August 19th 2008 - I had the body built for rock stardom

This rocks even more over here.

If you ever wonder why I do so many music inspired photos, it's because I've never quite gotten over my almost rock stardom. I worked for a long time writing, producing, singing, playing guitar, fronting a few bands... but I quit the only band to ever get signed to a major label... and only a month or so before inking the deal. It was a hard pill to swallow.

So now I write and record a song or so a year and maybe a handful of people ever hear it. But life goes on.

Oh... I did used to wear this hat on stage in case your wondering. I had a thing about hats. Tam found this one at an antique store years ago.

What did I do today? Shot 3 commercials in a couple of really small towns in Alabama, found a geocache along the way and shot the podcast.

Strobist info: Alien Bees B800 through a large softbox above the camera and two SP Studios strobes on the left and right behind subject for separation.
