Caption: For years, I worked for different bands, as their merch person, selling their t-shirts, records, etc... Before doing that, I booked shows and had a radio show, in Tampa, FL. Here are just a few images of different folks you may recognize from their current bands. These photos date 1994 - 2006. I'll be adding to this series from time to time, as I scan new images and negatives, so please check back for more. All were taken on my 35mm film camera. Thank you.
