Photography Restructuring: Some things went on behind the scenes today folks. You might
have noticed that over the last few years, EvilSponge has started doing more and more
concert photography. Well, when we started doing so we had no plan on how to organize
the photos on the server, and eventually this lack of structure became unwieldy. So today
all photos have been organized into folders based on calendar year. This will not affect
you, our loyal readers, but quite a few bloggers have linked to our photos, and they will
need to adjust their links accordingly. I apologize for any incovenience, but it does bring |
us to something we have needed to post here for a while.
Photographic Legal Disclaimer: All photographs on this site remain the legal property of the
photographer. You make link to these photos on your own website, but please give credit
to the photographer, or a link back to the page on EvilSponge where you originally found
the photograph. If you are the subject of a photograph, feel free to contact the
photographer for higher resolution versions of what you see here. Likewise, if you wish
to use some photo for purposes other than posting on your blog, please contact the
photographer. A link to their email is included in each review.
