Double page spread in SPIN

The White Stripes

Holy crap, look who scored a double page spread in SPIN magazine!

It’s one of my shots from the Big Day Out. My crappy photo of the mag isn’t very good but here’s the original:

The White Stripes

When i first heard i was getting a photo pass to the Big Day Out i was super excited but didn’t get my hopes up that anything would be published. SPIN only has two spots in the mag reserved for live photos that aren’t attached to editorial.

A couple of months ago when i heard they planned to run my photo i didn’t believe it. When my cheque arrived in the post i figured they’d made a mistake. But on Friday night, when i bought the latest issue (with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s on the cover) i couldn’t deny it any longer.

I’m stoked. It’s the most high profile photo i’ve had published to date, SPIN has around half a million circulation, which eclipses the reach of my blog somewhat 🙂

It’s daggy but i feel i owe some thanks to this blogging malarkey and to all the people who’ve encouraged me here and elsewhere. Cheers.

  2. Ha, i’m smiling like an idiot reading that! Congratulations!! I’m off to buy it today!

  3. Oh Daniel, you *are* such a dag! 🙂 I’m especially fond of the way this photo captures Jack’s growing double chin….

  4. Thanks folks. Before you pick up a copy be warned that in Australia, as it’s the latest air freighted copy it’s about $18. Maybe just have a flick through in the newsagent…

  5. mazal tov, taboudli!
    and if you dare tell me this rocktography thing is “just a hobby” one more time i’m going to do something very bad indeed.

  6. Great Mate!. Congratulations. It’s about time they started taking notice of your wonderful rock-shots.

  7. danny b, you are my number one homeboy platonic lifepartner fo shizzle.

  8. Don’t underestimate the power of this blogging malarky. Congratulations!!!!

  9. Congratulations Daniel Boud. It was only a matter of time before the rest of the world discovered your brilliance.

  10. Awesome Dan!! That’s bloody fantastic! Your BDO pics were very good indeed and now you get to show ’em off! On’ya!!!

  11. Yay!! Go Dan!!
    That’s brilliant!
    I’ll check it out next time I’m in the city and will then show it to random passers-by and say “I know this guy! I read his blog! And he commented on MINE! Yeah!”
    And they will all stare…but that’s ok.

  12. You go Dan!
    You superfly rocktographer you.
    And Nadine has a point…it ain’t no hobby mister!

  13. Congratulations Dan! I picked up a copy, and it looks sensational. I hope we get to see more of your stuff published again soon! Kelly x

  14. Dan that is awesome news, well done!! I hope this rolls out into more work opportunities for you – you totally deserve the chance.

  15. Woot!
    Congrats Daniel – WHAT A TALENT! WHAT A MAN!

  16. it’s about time they took some serious advantage of your photographic talents!
    V well done…

  17. Ah, bless all your little cotton socks. I’m feelin the love in the room. 🙂
    I just finished up my next assignment and i am so goddamn relieved. A photoshoot with INXS. More soon…

  18. That’s an awesome achievement – well done! What annoys me is that Spin can only devote a few pages to non-editorial photography but I’m sure they could squeeze a few more out for ya if it wasn’t chock full of ads

  19. Well done Dan. Congratulations! This whole rock photography thing is coming along very nicely.
