They also see value in my documention, it has nothing to do with money and everything to do with posterity.) Wow. I had no idea your clandestine work was so well respected by the performers themselves. With this kind of relationship I'm surprised that you don't simply ask for credentials so you don't have to sneak around. After all, it seems like what makes Jim Marshall's rock photography so good is the access he gets. The performers know him and trust thim and allow him on the inside. I'm quite sure that Charlie Parker also knew the guys who did all that taping and condoned their prescence. It sounds like you've got this same sort of trust with the performers you cover. Is there some reason you prefer remaining anonymous when you shoot? Bob (unfamiliar with the intricacies of rock photography) McEowen
