Grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and now I live in San Diego, CA. I travel with bands photographing them for a living. http://elmakias.tumblr.com/faq has a bunch of info on it. I travel around with bands for the majority of the year and photograph their everyday lives so that they can then post about them constantly and provide their fans with some insight on what they do with their times, and how their shows went- even though the fans themselves might not be able to be at the shows.
