Bruce Gilden photographed Miami Prostitutes and wrote about how Drug Addiction ravaged their lives
Bruce Gilden has put together a collection of Photographs of woman who have to prostitute themselves to pay for their Drug Addiction. They live on the streets and have seen the mean side of humanity up close and personal.

The thing that gets to me is that the people selling the drugs can see how the drugs are devastating the lives of these women, yet they still sell drugs to them. Hoarding money is more important than worrying about the lives which are being destroyed.
Have a look at the photos taken by Bruce Gilden. The link below to the Daily Mail news post has photos. These woman could be a member of your family! They could be your Sister or your Mother!

Christie Goodwin one the very best Concert Photographers
Posted by Vincent Banial
Christie Goodwin is the official photographer at the Royal Albert Hall. She also works as a Tour Photog. Bands will hire Christie to tour with them and shoot their concerts.
A lot of Musicians visit Uniquely Toronto. If you are in a band and are looking to get some astoundingly amazing concert photos of one of your shows, Christie Goodwin would the Concert Photog that I would call. Seriously amazing Photographer.

Christie mentions something in this video. She does not Chimp her shots at the concert. So many concert photogs will constantly check their camera to look at the shots they took. Why waste time looking at your own shots during the concert????
When I had first started UniquelyToronto.com I did a hilarious post about How to easily get Media Passes for Concerts. That post went viral among Concert Photogs. I got a ton of emails. Many told me that had no clue what I was talking about. Others sent me huge multi-page emails informing me about Concert Photography.
I’m not a newbie. That post was a clearly and obviously filled with humorous statements. I’ll give you one example: I suggested that New Concert Photogs visit eBay and buy a Pro Nikon SLR camera Strap. Bright yellow with NIKON D4 or D5 on it. That way anyone looking at you will see your strap and conclude that you are using a very expensive Nikon Pro camera. Then use black electrical tape to tape over the make and model of your own low priced, but still very capable DSLR camera. Voila – you are now considered a Pro Photog. To my mind that is humorous. Some concert photogs did appreciate my sense of humour. Christie Goodwin was one the few major Concert Photographers who got what that post was about. Someone sent her an email to check out my post. She found it to be a funny post and she sent me an email saying that. Christie is an awesome Concert Photographer and a really nice person to boot.

Blast from the past. Photos taken at New York’s Studio 54 published 35 years after Studio 54 closed
At one time life was more care free. Studio 54 during it’s height, was the best known Club in the world.
The beautiful people all flocked to party the night away, at Studio 54. The antics inside the club became legendary.
Sometimes I get lucky and even manage to take a good photo…
