(update Sept 13, 2009) Visit Ed's site featuring high quality color shots of many 80's era "name" bands such The Police, Dio, The Bangles. Ed, the consumate photographer had this to say when asked how he got such great shots, with or without permission: "I used to sneak my camera into some shows... era big bell bottom pants and my knee high tube socks. I stuffed my camera body in one sock, and the lens in the other. I only had a 50mm lens at the time. You could kind of see a wobble when I walked, but I walked carefully through the entrance doors. Back then, I remember bouncers would only check my waist area, bottles or weapons, I guess." |

Hey punks! Shavedneck costs 300 bucks a year to host. The pleasure it has brought over the years made it a small price - until now as circumstances in my life have changed. Over the years I've been approached by advertisers and even had cash offers for this site. I've ignored all, preferring to avoid crass commercialism. In order to maintain this site's integrity and keep it free of nasty ads I am humbly asking for cash donations towards its existence. Any tiny bit helps, and if by chance total donations exceed $300 per year they will be passed on to the NRDC and/or the ACLU (and I will remove this plea). Thanks in advance! Rock on, louder, faster!
