Jazz Guitar Man

I'm posting from Wimberley, Texas tonight. We evacuated Houston today because my home is in one of the zip codes under mandatory evacuation. As I type this post Hurricane Ike is bearing down directly toward my home! I'm glad I purchased flood insurance this year but hopefully I will not need to use it. I only brought a few things with me: clothes, my photography gear, and my desktop computer (no time to back up my photos so I had to bring the works :-).

Here is another photo from Jazz Night at The Arts Alliance Center of Clear Lake last Thursday night!

Lens: Canon 17-55 f/2.8 zoom
Post-processing: Photoshop CS3 > Dragonizer Action (Note: This is a terrific action with a lot of interactive elements to allow for a great amount of creativity on the photographer's part and if I could remember where I found it on the internet I would tell you. I'll continue to look for it and will post it at a later date if I find it again.)
