Are you talking about CN22 ?
I though  you can do it online now and print it at home.

I'll look into it.

Yesterday I spent a long time kneeling on the floor of a convenience store filling out ten customs forms before posting to Europe.

Rock and roll man.

You shoulda learned to play the guitar. You shoulda learned to play them drums.

Dusty you won't believe it but I really wanted to write the same thing.  :D

How dare the last drummer in DS give us hardcore fans a privileged look at his personal photos from a tour most of us probably attended. Seriously people get a grip. It’s a chuffing honour he has done this for us.

"Honour he has done this for us"

Is this a sarcastic remark? He's selling a friggin book mate.

I find it funny and strange that some people seem to have Chris in high regard for everything he does and says now, whilst before he joined the forum nobody really talked about him and when they did it was to criticize his drumming during the tour.

Sure, which ever way it is, I haven't asked to be spoken about.
Many people have asked me to make this book for years. people asked me to wrote a book about the tour before they even knew I had any photographs. When I posted a few photographs on Instagram a lot more people asked me to do the book.
What is your problem?
I don't have any problem

I was thinking of doing this anyway, as I thought some members might find it interesting. The first image is straight out of camera, with only the negative reversed to make a positive image. The second image is the final one, after hours of dust and scratch removal. The more you zoom into the first image, the more you see a blizzard of dirt and dust particles.

Luckily there are only a handful and we just banned one of them (again).

I will clean up the nonsense out of this thread and just ask everyone else to remind themselves of the rules, along with the good old internet advice "Don't post something you wouldn't say to someone's face". :)

More on the subject matter...
These are some test prints I made while putting the book together:
Great pictures Chris! How did you manage to take pictures during a show while you where drumming? Did you had your camera always on stage ?

It was usually the encores, especially the front of MFN.
Mark would play the Gtr riff once then stop and the crowd would scream and cheer for minutes, allowing me to snap a pic or two.
Really there was no other time in the show I could take pictures, so most in the book are days off, travel days and sound checks.

Great job restoring the pictures! The book is actually cheap.
