A heavy hitter is with us for this Monday Photo Blog. Don Pyle is having a showing of his photos from the very early days of the Toronto punk scene at 1234 Go! Records in Oakland this weekend, and in preparation we have some of these “savvy show stoppers” to get you ready. Also, while he’s in town, check out his Out of Focus Talking Slide Show at Adobe Books next Thursday (May 8). He will also have copies of his photos book, Trouble In The Camera Club on hand. Pick it up if you haven’t already. For more information or photos, reach him at yesdonpyle@gmail.com.

Send your tour photos, bands that have come through your town, the best of your local bands, etc. to: photoblog@maximumrocknroll.com. Include your name, a link to your website (or flickr, Facebook, or whatever), and the band (or subject), date and location of each photo. Just send your best photos — edit tightly. Three to seven photos is plenty, and it’s best to send pictures of different bands. Please do not send watermarked photos. Please make your photos 72 dpi and about 600—800 pixels at the longest side. Not everything sent in will be posted, and a response is not guaranteed, but we do appreciate all of your contributions. Feel free to submit more than once. Thanks!
