January 10- Gibson Guitar

If there is one thing to know about me is that I LOVE music. I love to listen to it and I love to photograph people putting their heart and soul into making it. One of goals for this year is to get a real photo pass and have a music photo that I took published (preferably with some kind of pay attached to it :) ) I often joke with my friends that I want my picture (that I took) on the cover of Rolling Stone..just like the song..

(Rollin stone)Wanna see my picture on the cover

(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (wa wa)

(Stone) Wanna see my smilin face On the cover of the rollin stone

On the cover of the rollin stone....

(but I digress.. :) )

Today I went to Gibson Guitar in downtown Memphis to buy tickets for a show tomorrow night. I can't believe I have never been there before. Its still going to through renovations because of the Memphis downburst that destroyed its exterior. I would like to actually do the tour one day. They let you see the entire process of how they make quitars..from start to finish. I just went into the store today. I really wish I had taken my camera into the store. It was just rows and rows of new guitars..all shiny colors and chrome. I could have spent hours in that store taking pictures. Instead I settled for a shot of the outside.

Also, I "lomoized" it (which makes photos look like it was taken with a lomo camera.) If you google lomoize action, you can download it for free. Its a little harsh on some photos, but it can be tweaked to your liking. The orginal looked like this:

Download the action and lets see what you can do with it.
