I took this picture, but I love it Johnny Kongos has a really dramatic look to him in this Image. I think it turned out really cool. The gorilla on the accordion really adds to it I think. You can almost feel the music coming out of this Image.

I like Gene’s expression in this image. The God of Thunder beckoning his disciples. The shadow cast by his giant boots is kind of cool too.

Great image, eye contact, action, as well as beams of light. You can almost hear his guitar singing to you.

This is a great Image. I love the eye contact. Almost makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

This image tells four different stories to me. There are four musicians within the one image, each a separate entity on their own, but intertwined to create this story of a song in an image. I think it’s a really cool picture, and I love the double neck guitar in the foreground.
