seanpollockphoto asked: Did Collin shoot each bracelet with the matching lens? lol

christianislost asked: Any advice on getting a photo pass for warped or venues?

aveclebuttsauce asked: could you describe the editing process for your b+w pictures?

houstonihaveaproblem asked: Hello Adam!! I'm Mery
I'm trying to go to ADTR's show at Barcelona (I study image in Madrid)
Hope to see you there, I admire you a lot.
You could bring your bracelets and sell 'em. I would buy :)

kaysi asked: I know you prefer for us to ask a camera store, but I hold your opinion in very high regard.
I'm not sure what to look for when comparing cameras other than pixels. Out of these two, which would you consider best for a not so newbie "photographer" looking to upgrade her PowerShot SX120 IS.
Thank you! :D

matthewbrant asked: Hey Adam, are you still working on getting a new DVD out? How's that coming along?

new tour dates with Asking Alexandria →

what should I include in the FAQ

gear where im from what else? I want it to be factual things, not so much about my life, just quick stuff.

kaysi asked: I know you've probably answered this 29382093 times, but how about one more? :D
What type of camera do you use? In general.
Please&thankyou!

anyone want to tackle that? I am sure someone out there knows how to do this better then me. Just sayinnn’ SICK got it, thank you haha. I am not lazy, just informed.

giladam asked: Hey man,awesome work. What kind camera(s)/lens are you shooting with at the moment?

so @youngfuegp got the good stuff

joelpilotte asked: Adam,

I saw you are touring with ADTR? If so will you be at the Toronto show March 20th? I might be shooting that show if I can get a hold of a pass which is starting to become a non option. It's pretty picked over already. Anyways it would be sick to shoot a show in the same pit.

Thanks

lauren-lovess asked: Hey Adam,

I'm a photography major at the Illinois Institute of Art and I have to do a short interview type thing for one of my projects. I'm supposed to find a photographer in the industry I want to work in and ask them 2-4 questions. I was wondering if I could ask you? I can either ask them on here or email them to you.. If you could take a few minute to answer them,...

brokenfragilethings asked: Like are we supposed to take a picture of what we focus on in life or what exactly do you mean? Are we supposed to take a photo like you'd posted for the "Focus On Life" thing? Sorry, I'm just confused a bit.

skank-yourart asked: I remember back in the day when you were taking pictures at the old Loft. Glad to see you're still doing it, and doing it big!

theshutterclick: Short shorts, must be mitch

don't forget about this contest →

becca-speeen asked: advice on taking pictures from the crowd?

amandaajayyy asked: this may be stupid to ask but could you define bad ass for the contest haha :]

kaysi asked: People are probably just trying to figure out how to 'Focus on Life'.
Not a failed attempt!

prescriptionpillstodiamondrings asked: is there limit with how many pictures one person should take or submit? Is it a one per user kind of thing?

khajiun asked: hey man, if you're touring with ADTR, then i presume you'll be at the london show :)
it'd be great to meet you dude, i love your work and your blogs

icantbehelddown asked: adam! i noticed that im in one of your pictures of PTV from the uniondale warped tour date and i was wondering if its cool if i print it out to have vic sign it? its actually this picture (http://prints.adamelmakias.com/Clients/warpedblog/IMG1821/1046892272_wBV7Q-XL-3.jpg)

isabelydg asked: I've been reading your warped tour blogs and I notice that you mention Milwaukee/Madison, WI a lot. So I'm just wondering but do you reside around those areas? And I love your photos!

Is anyone taking part in the contest?

I can’t tell if this was a failed attempt at a contest or not! I thought it would be fun
