Rock Photographer Mark Weiss Giving Back With A Little Help From His Photos
September 25, 2014, 10 years ago
"I am often asked to donate classic rock photographs from my archives," says acclaimed lensman Mark Weiss. "I would have never imagined when I was 16 and sneaking my camera into concerts that I could make a living out of it, much less help out some people in my own hometown by donating the sale of these photos three decades later. My career as a photographer has been a dream come true, and it’s time to give back.As many of you know, for the past three years I have been passionate about a campaign I started for Lunch Break, the soup kitchen (and so much more) in my hometown of Red Bank, NJ. The campaign is entitled Feels Like The First Time and I am donating images from the first time I photographed the musicians in the '70s and '80s, with the proceeds benefitting Lunch Break. After last year’s successful campaign raised more than $10,000, I have teamed up once again with Charitybuzz online auction for Round 2. This year’s auction runs from September 24th to October 15th. To see the photos that are up for bids, including shots of: Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Sammy Hagar, Paul Stanley, Rob Halford, Mick Mars, and several others, visit this location."
