From the classroom to the screen

Herman Alber, (pictured) grew into a Ginker at the peak time of metal and burnout culture: 1983-1986.  Growing up on the outlaw rockabilly music of early Elvis and Waylon Jennings, Herman found Iron Maiden and the new metal acts to be of the same rebellious ilk and was soon forging a connection that has lasted his whole life. 

He found us through myspace and after a quick call to my sister who graduated with him, and who urged me to talk with him, I invited him to be a featured subject.
During an afternoon shoot in late January, he regaled us for several hours with the perils of choosing cheerleaders as love interests, how to safely escape a 'pit party', and the basic music pedigree of Ginkers.
