Last night I was shooting Korn and the opening bands.  I was contacted by one of the opening band's publicist to set up an interview before the show. I was doing research for the interview and I couldn't help but look at their live shots.  Most of their shots had very dark blue lights on their faces sort of like Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

PhotoShelter published a free report from a 2009 survey of 550 photo buyers. The results are interesting. Over 90% of buyers surveyed hated flash-based introductions on websites. Click the link below to read a summary of the survey. They provide a place where you can enter your e-mail address and PhotoShelter will e-mail a free 22-page PDF with all of the results. I know I'm going to be redesigning my website based on this information.
