Summary

This week I had Adam Elmakias into the loft to sit down for an interview. If you are not familiar with Adam he is the guy behind the original lens bracelet and a touring music photographer. He has built a huge following on Intagram and Twitter and he sat down with me to share some of his stories on how he has built his following.

There was a flurry of news stories relating to concert photographers that we touched base on. I had an interview with one of them who asked a band to credit him and use his original image but they refused in an unbelievable fashion. The second was a tour manager ranting about photographers and how it’s a privilege to shoot their bands.

For this weeks Gear of the Week I broke out some new bags and another flying thing to discuss.

We wrapped up this week with the Wheel of FRO where Jesus Chueca got to give it a spin.
