Our First Photo Shoot

    Our First Photo Shoot was at Scheckler  Elementary School. I knew the Principal His son Eddie Bruchack Is a good friend of the band.We were aloud in the class rooms and on the grounds really any place we wanted. My friend 's Wife Tammy Mizgerd took the photo's she also did the art work for the cover of Don't say no our first single.She also did our manager Dave,they eventually ran off together to start a new life.My Brother Mike took over the management Job and later married our managers x-wife.What a fucked up story ,If you have an hour or two I'll tell you..Any way I knew you needed a good photo to make a 9x7 glossy Photo for a press kit.A press kit is what you use to get booked to inform the purchaser about the band and there music.The better the press kit is the more professional you look.The photo's are in black and white That is the industry standard .I loved doing photo shoots they were fun Robbie was a riot . We did several photo shoots a few in the studio. These pictures were used on fliers more than anything Then later on in the first web site.We always chose decent places not the usual ruins or an old dirty alley with spay painted graffiti  all over the place.I wanted to do one the hospital  with a stretcher and a lot of hot nurse's.It was important to do photo shoots,Big bands did them and we wanted to be a big band.
