Living Dead Weekend

Evans City Pennsylvania has long been the epicenter of the Zombie culture. It was here that George Romero largely photographed Night of the Living Dead which is the movie that really started the zombie phenomenon. A few years ago The Living Dead Museum moved to Evans City. The museum had previously been in Monroeville Mall. Over the last three years they have had had a free three day event which features location tours, photo ops with the stars from the films,costume and car parades and other fun events.

This year I went with friends to promote my book Zombie Nights and of course I took a few pictures.

Zombie Nights in Production

I have been asked by a number of people to write a book about my experiences on the set of Dawn of The Dead in 1978. I was a photojournalist in Pittsburgh in 1978 and did some work for Pittsburgh Magazine. One assignment was to cover the new movie that George Romero was making at Monroeville Mall.

The book is now in the first stages of editing and I hope to publish it by April. I am also working with a professional illustrator in the United Kingdom on the cover design. I am considering making a Zombie Nights T-Shirt so stay tuned in for updates on the project.

A Hundred Places I Went to Before I Died–Kindle Edition

Publishing a book of color images for Kindle seemed idiotic to me so I never released a digital version of “A Hundred Places I Went to Before I Died” until this week. I did it as a prep project for my new book “Zombie Nights” to understand the difficulties in converting an 8.5 inch square book into a Kindle format. Zombie Nights will include over 50, mostly monochrome images and the square format makes sense for books containing both vertical and horizontal images. In addition the popularity of the Kindle Fire devices makes a book of color images not seem so idiotic.

Amazon Author’s Page

I recently began working on my third book, “Zombie Nights” and decided I probably need to have an authors page at Amazon. Zombie Nights is a look back on two nights in 1977 where I went without sleep to cover the making of Dawn of The Dead at Monroeville Mall outside of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
