I write stuff for LOUDER THAN WAR which allows me to walk through doors and get thrilled by unexpected events that occur before my eyes more often than I could afford to.

And I have a camera which means I can be very close to the bands that appear on large stages and use the photo's to compliment the words I write.

Without the help of people I very rarely meet I could never get to know those people who I write about and take the occasional pictures of.

If you're looking at this because you've helped me walk through doors or are involved in any way connected with the bands in question then thank you - I sometimes feel the appreciation I have for you isn't voiced often enough.

You're all good people - never forget that.
