Topic: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Hello All ,
                 I have submitted photos to the photo gallery & presume they're not up to the required standard as they haven't been shown , but I can't believe there were no good photographers at any of the UK gigs . Has anyone else sent photos in recently ? The last update is the first week of September , seems a long time to me . Also , i asked for confirmation of receipt of photos & none was forthcoming , thought it would have been polite to at least have said thanks, but no thanks . Is anyone able to shed any light on what's going on please , I've really enjoyed this forum & the site in general for the few short weeks I've been visiting , but , for the first time this leaves a sour taste and doesn't seem in keeping with the rest of the great Joe experience I've enjoyed thus far .

                 Don't want to come over as ungrateful , but it would be nice to know , and don't think it's up to the high standards that Joe sets .

( Be gentle with me ! )

                  Regards,
                                Jeff

Thanks for your reply Jane .

                  You definitely have an eye , there are 2 GREAT shots there . Don't know if you find this , but I can look at someone elses photos & pick the good ones instantly , but find it almost impossible to pick the good from the bad of my own unless there are really terrible ones . Thanks for sharing that , if my shots do get shown ( I've sent 28 ) I hope they're not a disappointment .

                   Regards,
                                  Jeff

You might also try posting your photos on a website devoted to photo sharing. There are many to choose from. I used flickr - www.flickr.com - to post some of mine because other forum members had used it. There are lots of photos of Joe there. It was pretty easy to sign up and get started.

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Hi there,

Don't feel bad.  I submitted photos a couple of years ago to Joe and never heard a work back either.  I really felt some of the photos were very good, when compared with others that did make it in the gallery.  We even got the address from one of the crew members and mailed a cd of the photos.  We also sent them in electronically.  It would have been nice to even get a "thanks but no thanks."  So I really understand where you're coming from.

Since then I have attended a couple more of Joe's concerts and now have two (2) 'Joe" albums up.

The photos can be seen at:

I just figure I can let other fans know where they can view them and that's what really matters.  :-)

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Lee & Foxden , thanks for your comments , have tried to access your photos a couple of times , but my  aged computer & slow connection have failed on each occassion , which disappoints me cos I really wanted to see you work , so don't think I was arrogant in not commenting , when I get the chance to use a more up to date system than my own I'll be sure to check your photos out . I really appreciate you both taking the time to reply .Thanks , guys .

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Annelies,
               just in case there's any confusion I didn't take the Manchester/Sheffield photos , but enjoyed seeing them ( unfortunately , I wasn't able to be at those gigs )   . I hope the photographer comes on & takes credit for their shots , cos they were good . I have to admit my disappointment that there weren't more contributions from the UK tour , would have been great to see shots from every gig . In our defence , we usually have to ' smuggle ' cameras into gigs over here & usually get refused entry if we're carrying a camera . There have been some gigs this year by ' big name ' artists where they haven't allowed mobile phones into the arena , in case they had cameras on them . What ? I even bought a slim camera for the gig in case I got turned away with my proper camera , fortunately that wasn't the case , I've never had so much fun taking photographs  !

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Donna ,
             Thanks for saying that , it means a lot ! As I've previously said I sent in 28 shots , but only 24 have been shown . One of my favourites & the one that everyone seems to like haven't been shown , but am glad that I've got some on the gallery  -  it's my biggest claim to fame ! haha . You're the amazing one .

              J.

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Does anyone have any photos of Chantelle McGregor, who jammed with Joe, Mark and Bogie at the Manchester Academy gig. I'm sure she would be over the moon to see herself on stage with Joe on Joe's website. She was excellent and is a new member on these boards

Yeh, I know, not a big deal but someone else was credited with my snaps. More posted yesterday. That was a hell of a gig. Would you care for a DVD copy of the Pacific Road gig Annelies?

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Yes yes yes Geoff, i love to have one!!!!!!!!
Send me a mail.

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

No problem, it's on two DVDs (PAL) the second one starts with Joe's acoustic set - absolutely jaw dropping! I've e-mailed you personally for you to drop me your address. If you could drop me a line and pop two DVD - R discs in the post I'll gladly rip them for you.

kind regards

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

I let it be known here and now that I will accept all photos emailed to me (please I beg send them to management first) gratefully and they are just for personal enjoyment...yes I have some to share! CC or BCC me!!  Think about it though, there's a ton of pics to deal with..Joe's website cannot put them all on!

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Geoff,
Thanks a million for the dvd's !! looking and listening to the first at the moment oh...... i like it Thanks!!!!!!!
Gerry mcAvoy[bass-Rory Gallagher] just called from Paris i told him to ring back i am watching JOE ......ha ha ha ...........oh I am bad.

Re: Photo Gallery -No UK Photos

Absolutely no worries Annelies. Bet you had to pinch yourself after "woke up dreaming". Jaw dropping or what!!! I met a Michael Lynch at the Manchester gig. He went to 11 of his gigs in the UK but missed Pacific Road, so I sent him a copy too, he said the Pacific Road DVD of that song was better than any of the 11 gigs he saw live!!!!!! I feel honoured to have captured it now!
