not sure how the economy factors into getting a photo pass or not, though.

They own the local newspaper, and lots of media companies around here in NE PA, and have lots of photogs that they have to pay (they pay them very little)... However, assignments at the venue are given to a sportswriter who only takes one pic with a flash for his article, and then he leaves... They have to make special arrangements with their other companies, to send a photog. on special assignment to the venue... They rarely ever do it. I'm the only one around on a regular basis with a good camera...

I've already worked a bunch of shows with arrangements made through the bands and promoters... I still have an open channel of communication with those same bands... However, most of the shows scheduled so far into next year are small, new tribute bands, or bands that I have photographed before... And I'm just not in the mood to write letters and follow up letters for a chance to take pictures... Unless I really like the act, I'm just going to take it easy.

The current economy primarily factors into their ability to book big, expensive acts, and to generate an audience show factor...

However, regarding their ability to pay me... I'm wondering If they just are being thrifty in these tight times...

I'm in no rush... Right now I need to focus my efforts at a local resort... I met the CEO the other day, and he's interested in my work.

I didn't say you did ... just that you do shoot together often! I'm not implying there's any Hanky-panky going on, although if I were young and single ... well, nevermind. Have fun shooting!
