Metal Chris

i rule it. times 10 even!

You can see my metal blog at: dcheavymetal.com

You can find videos i've shot on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/RapeJesus

You can find me on Twitter at: twitter.com/metalchris

i'm basically using Flickr to host pics i take at concerts, but i'm also going to post various other things on here, like pics of my friends at parties, vacation pics, etc... i put all my pics (except ones at my or my friend's current homes) on my map so if you are into that check it out.

Most of my pics are listed with a creative commons license and I don't care if anyone wants to use them on Wikipedia or blogs whatever as long as it fits in the license restrictions. If you do use them on another site or anything I just ask that you send me a link or post it in the comments of the pic on here or some such. No you don't HAVE to, but it would be nice of you. I bring this up because I found one of my pics on Wikipedia and I have no problem with that, it just would have been cool to know when it happened.

I have 3 major influences/inspirations for my photography, and they are my mom, Martin Wickler (aka Sathonys of the band Agathodaimon) and Peter Beste. I hope to one day be half as good as any of them.

And in case you didn't know, i am a huge metal head. My favorite band ever is the 70s version of Black Sabbath. Metal is not the only thing i listen to though. And don't give me crap for liking bands:

1. that aren't metal or 'heavy enough'

2. that are too popular or too obscure or 'sold out'

3. that dress different than you

4. that have members who are jerks or idiots etc...

i don't care! i judge bands by their music, everything else is just secondary. And since music means something different to everyone, I don't have the same tastes as you, get over it.
