Lost in Music

Still one of my favs!
this is one of my all time faves
"Sleep While I Drive" - incredible song.
Sebastian Bach was such an amazing vocalist. Did you know he is on the show Gilmore Girls?
This is where it all started at a bar in Kingston, ON...
I think this is my 'Desert Island' album... The Faces - A nod is as good as a wink
One of my all-time favourite albums. This one is on my deserted island list. (Still gotta check out the Wizard of Oz connection).
- the model's mom
I did not know that.... Thats pretty funny though, he didn't seem like a 'Gilmore Girls' kinda guy!
I was fortunate enough to see them at a small bar when they were on tour for this EP back in '87... and many times since.
Her best song is still her first hit (IMO). "Bring me some Water"
I've been to Jamaica a couple of times. This album takes me right back.
I was just listening to this on my ipod
I just read Slash's bio and have re-visited this album a lot lately, what a masterpiece!

Credit where credit is due.. I was inspired by Disgruntledbaker1 with this shot..

Since I buy all my music online now, I don't have any recent CDs for this... everything here I had to dig out of storage in the basement.

Setting up this shot was fun, because Andy and I spent lots of time digging out CDs and organizing them... Now I just have to clean it up!

Lights: I used 3 lights. One to my right, near my elbow, shot into an umbrella. Second to my left, very high and halfway to subject, into umbrella. Third, hair light, bare light onto the hair. Reflections were a bugger.... 
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

This is a great, well executed idea Gary. How long did this take to set up? Nice collection too.

It probably only took an hour or so to actually setup, but that was increased by the constant "I forgot about these guys... Let's listen to it!"
