A Journal - Art, Artists, the Artistic Process and Inspiration
Audio Review Jazz guitarist and recording artist, Dom Minasi’s latest release, Remembering Cecil is a solo project; a culmination of 30 years of playing free form jazz. The project’s title pays tribute to Cecil Taylor; one of Dom’s idols and sources of inspiration over the years. I love Dom’s rich tones on this recording. The…
I talked about this project a bit on the podcast, Photography Matters/INSPIRED over the past couple of months. During that period of time I often found myself waking up; being wide awake around 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. I finally decided to start taking advantage of those episodes of wakefulness. I would get out…
One of my favorite things that happens from time to time in photography, or any creative field for that matter, is known as the happy accident. Maybe it’s a flash not going off when it was supposed to; or that time you accidentally bump the black slider and light room all the way down and…

This is my favorite time of year in Las Vegas. September is when you really begin to see the days and nights cool down. It’s so easy to spend more time outside, out walking the streets of downtown Vegas. It’ll be even better over the next couple of months. I love that. I really didn’t…
