SO, YOU ONLY PHOTOGRAPH PUNKS, THEN?
Yes, I do photograph punks, but they are elusive in the wild. I do not ONLY photograph punks. It is important work, photographing punks, and they come in many variations.
I am the punk in Punk Rock Photography. Punk Rock Photography refers to my approach to photography - DIY, raw, honest. Sometimes that features what the mainstream associates with "punk", sometimes it does not. Punk is not just mohawks, ripped clothes, & safety pins. As Joey Ramone once said, "All punk is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude."
These days, I photograph live music (punk and not), portraits (punk and not), events (music-related and not) and whatever else seems interesting.
OH, SO DO YOU DO WEDDINGS?
I do not. Not in a wedding industry way, at any rate. To read a longer explanation and see visual aids, please see this blog post here.

SO, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR ME TO GET MY PHOTOS BACK?
It depends on the job, but for a portrait session you'll have a gallery of images to choose from delivered to you within two weeks. If you need it sooner, there may be additional charges to expedite the editing. NOTE: Advanced retouching, such as fixing sunburn in images, will require more time and an extra charge.
