My father had sent a 35mm camera while he was overseas, so my first attempt at taking pictures at a concert was around 1971 at a Bloodrock and Grand Funk Railroad concert. Guess I was around 13. Next Alice Cooper, but it was a few years after that before I really got anything decent. We lived around 100 miles from Oklahoma City so it was a bit of a challenge getting to concerts at that age. I shot a lot of shows in the 2nd half of the 70's, but by the time the 80's hit, it was a lot harder to get passes for shows. By the time the 90's got here it was very seldom that I took pictures unless Ronnie Dio had a concert in the area.
