PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES

Photos of Jeff Sarley taken by band member

Photos of Jeff Sarley taken by Steve Carr at the same session.

In between recording on a Rolling Stones album and with Keith Richards on his solo project, bassist Jeff Sarley recorded some tracks for a Washington DC area band at Hit and Run Recording. These photographs were taken during that session.

Steve has been taking photographs of musicians for almost as long as he has been recording them. He got his first audio recorder when he was in elementary school, and his first camera (an "instamatic" film cartridge camera*), in middle school. He subsequently took countless pictures of many famous rock bands with that instamatic camera. With the exception of the Jeff Sarley (above-left) pictures, the waterfall, and one of the SIRENS singers, all of the photographs on this website were taken by Steve Carr.

*The same type of camera used by the band member to take his pictures of Jeff Sarley was used by Steve to take these three pictures of guitarist Paul Stanley of the rock group Kiss.

Website-Multimedia Page Design Services - Current Prices $65 per page

The price for the construction of a multimedia product is based on the number of pages and the options added. Note: This service is not a web hosting service. We construct your pages for an agreed upon, one time fee, and then we would upload the website or provide the files we constructed for you to the web host provider you have chosen to host your website on the internet.

Price includes combining customer supplied text and images, setting up the main email account for the website, upload and testing. Please note that photo editing and image correction are extra. See Photo Editing Services for more information.

Convert WAV files (audio CD) to MP3, upload and add a music player to the page to play the MP3 : $4 per song.

Edits of Audio Files can be performed on the tracks so that only a portion of each song is available to listen to on your web page. The charge is $1 per edit. For example, to convert one song ($4), and fade in at the first verse, and fade it out after the first chorus would be two edits, therefore the total charge would be $6 for that song. For another example, your new album is comprised of 11 songs and you want only the first 30 seconds of each song to play on your website. That would be 11 conversions ($44) and eleven, single edits ($11), total cost would be $55.
