My profound thanks are due to Dickie Chappell who arranged my photo pass.
Nothing feels like being able to play the music you love.
It's... connecting with the music on a whole different level. It makes you understand more. It's more intimate, more expressive... it is simply more.
I wonder why I have been waiting for so long to experience this.
Not sure what I want to write here..what can I say about this that will make you feel this?
All I know, is that it took my breath away...
I shot this in Las Vegas two years ago (another that got lost) when I got to the hotel early. We had a show starting early the next morning so I decide to fly out a bit early and chill for awhile. I was sitting reading my book and a shadow fell crossed my page, looked up and this is what I saw! It's beauty was truly amazing...
Be well all, and enjoy all the beauty that surrounds us!
