I just checked their website to see their Florida tour dates to give my buddy in SoBe a head's-up on their arrival in SoFla ... To my excitement and dismay, I see that they're using my photo as their lead photo on their website banner ... I've got mixed emotions on that they're using my photo w/o credit, but at least I know it's there ... @#$%^!*~+?

Regardless, Hot Rod Walt has some cool cars and is one hell of a rockabilly guitar player . . .

Plus, they were recently spotlighted on the Discovery Channel on a few episodes of Cafe Racers and Auction Kings ...

Anyway, my photo is their website banner . . .

Carry On . . .

I should say that I'm somewhat proud of this photo ... I mean, a TON of people take snap shots of these guys ... I probably took close to 100 photos that day, but only posted this one ... Many people flood their FB stream with crappy shots ... (hint to all yous out their, only post your good photos) ...

Damn good shot Jet. IMO definitely worth the effort to contact them about it so they can at least acknowledge it in some way. Hopefully they or the website designer just boosted the photo from an image search or something and not that someone else sent it in claiming that they shot it.

On another note - never heard of these guys before, but they sounded pretty decent for the little bit that they had on their website, I'll have to search around for some more of their tunes. Thanks.

Thanks T.G ... I know them fairly well ... Got the personal touch recently when they flagged them down as they were wandering aimlessly through the terminal and I got them checked-in for their European Tour ... Funny, as I've seen them live & shot them many times. The photo in question was after their E/T and after all the Discovery Channel shows were shot ... The shot in question was at the Drive Invasion at the Historic Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta ...

They're a fun band to watch and I do love Rock-a-billy Music . . .

Cool. Sounds like it wouldn't be too much of an issue to straighten out then.

Been watching some of their videos on youtube, while the quality of most of the videos is very amateurish complete crap, they give enough of a hint that they would likely throw a fun show.

Yeah ... I've been doing the same tonight. Most of their videos are hand-held jobs from the drunk on PBR audience ... I wish they'd do a pro-video job, but my buddy RayGun just moved out to LA, so I've lost my local contact ... Hell, they just sold the Psycho Cadillac on the Discovery Channel to pay for their "tour bus" ... Regardless, they Rock and they're a good band ...

I do know one thing ... All this past month, I've been drooling over Walt's '64 Ford Falcon Convertible ... Me and My Baby want that car soooo bad . . .

As far as photo credit is concerned...It's major drama ... always has been, always will be ... As long as anyone posts a photo on the internet and someone and right-click and save, there will be issues ... Just ask Shepard Fairey . . .

Doubt I'll be following them on this tour ... (maybe for the Ft. Lauderdale show, but doubtful) ... They're playing my town after they return from Florida, but I see them all the time all over Atlanta ... They're a fun band ... There's a ton of music on their MySpace site, btw . . .

Ha-Ha ... I just shared their tour schedule on my FB page, and Walt piped in and said I was one of Atlanta's Best Photographers ... LoL ... Great Compliment, but I surely do not consider myself one of the best ... I know I do take good photos, but there are far many better than me, but it was cool of him to say so ... LoL
