Ellen started taking pictures when she was eight years
old. She took pictures of nice things, like flowers
and friends and feet. Then ten years later she went to
see some bands play, and she brought her camera along.
She was amazed by the band's matching clothes and
hair. The singer did funny things like jump up in the
rafters and hang upside down. He also screamed a lot,
which she liked. She started going to more shows and
taking her camera, and she saw things like people
bleeding, people sweating a very very lot, people
taking off their clothes, and people doing all kinds
of funny dances.
Ellen has been taking pictures at shows for about
three years now, and she has a pretty nice collection
of bands from San Diego and beyond. Her work has been
published in San Diego City Beat, San Diego Fahrenheit Magazine, and the Seattle Stranger, as well as in the album art of bands like Karate, Over My Dead Body, and
Goodbye, Blue Monday.
