These photographs have never been seen publicly and so of course, the first and only chance to order prints. I shot Andy right after he performed his new Nervous Energies session (coming soon) back in April 2012. Both prints at 4x6” and available for $12 (shipping included) There are only 25 prints of each photograph and will not be reprinted in this size again. If you haven’t, pre-order the new RAGC album here - http://rightawaygreatcaptain.bandcamp.com
Also new in the webstore is the Blue Ridge Mtns print. It was photographed on the backside of Great Smoky Mtns national park earlier this month. This print is available for $11 (shipping included).
So I had posted last night about the 22 hour mark from when I uploaded the Coheed and Cambria Nervous Energies sessions, around that time it was 9K on Mother Superior plus 3-4K on the other two songs each. I was blown away and couldn’t believe it that many in the first day. Well a little after the 24 hour mark, Youtube had lagged on displaying views and it was actually 15K just for Mother Superior. The combined 3 sessions had about 21K+ the first 24 hours, we’re sitting at about a combined 29K at this moment (8:30am cst). This is completely insane, I seriously can not thank you guys enough for watching the sessions. I don’t know what other sessions or videos get they may be higher, but for Nervous Energies this is the biggest single day numbers ever. The funniest part is it’s all just word of mouth from tweeting and whatever else. I do everything myself when it comes to NE, there’s no publicist or editor or anything. I make zero money from the sessions, not even ad/banner dollars (even though I’ve been told I’m insane for not doing that, I may one day though haha). To be on par with some of the larger sites’ video posts in terms of viewers is astounding and it’s all because of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Also, a BIGGER yet somehow also equal thank you to AltPress & Thomas Nassiff/everyone at AbsolutePunk.net. I may be a least favorite photographer for both entities (I’m kidding), but you guys have kept Nervous Energies in high regard and always supported the sessions since the very first one.
Pick up the new Waka Flocka Flame album Triple F Life June 12th. I shot all those sweet black and white photographs used for the background. Can’t wait to post the gallery of all my Waka stuff later on.
This is what happens when you rip off my photography ideas.
…is it sad I spent 30 minutes making/uploading that footage through Call of Duty earlier. At least there was a share button built into the game to make it easy to display my lameness.
