Before the Music

Written by:

I got a chance to see the amazing James Houlahan and band at the underground music series at The Dresden in Los Feliz.  While the bands transitioned i wandered into the empty, front rooms of the restaurant which were serving as the green room.  The lighting and the ghost-like, found-art of the guitar cases and empty beer bottles was quite eerie and beautiful.

I am enjoying what I discover when I duplicate and mirror photos.  The first photo turned into a Southwestern tapestry.  The second image looks like a black hole is opening up, merging the underground with what’s above.

I took the pictures on my iphone and edited them with the Camera+ app.  I did the tapestry-ing on Photoshop.
