I've decided to try a new approach for the Newest Gallery. Due to time constraints (and to keep my sanity) each quarterly update will consist of a video slideshow featuring a few highlights from many of the events I shot in the previous 3 months. The first one (above) has keyboard based music I made years ago while unable to play the guitar due to a torn tendon. Haven't had time to do a new guitar piece or add new videos to MyTubeFace – coming soon!
