I'm a hack, but I'm working on it.

I take photos of bands, photos of people, and most recently photos of cyclocross. I like to capture life as it is, hence the 50mm. Maybe someday I'll have more time and get artistic.

My photos seem to get around on Wikipedia, and I recently got published in Maximum Rock'n'Roll.

I help run a web site call Concert Co-Op, which is what got me into taking photos of bands. Anyone can submit photos to get featured on the site by going to www.concertcoop.com/join.

Most of my photos are copyrighted under a Creative Commons attribution license, which means you can use them for commercial purposes and as components in other projects as long as you give me credit (and get the permission of the subjects if you're selling something). When giving me credit, please list "Christian Reed - Concert Co-Op (concertcoop.com)".

If you're using them online, links would also be awesome:
