I took a photo of Slash and Anthony Kiedis... I figured at some point I should tell you guys the story of how I became a professional photographer and there's no time like the present. It's 2008 and I have spent the last few years working shit jobs while doing photography on the side. I was a busboy at a Manhattan hotel restaurant for a year and when I quit I tried to make it as a full time photographer. I made it about nine months before I had to get a new job. In December of 2008 I have been at that new job for the last six months. We are in the middle of the economy collapsing after the housing crisis and two days before Christmas my entire shift gets laid off. I am giving the option a six week severance payment or an opportunity to work the morning shift, but I was out photographing until 4am every night so I took the money.... π
