From listening to the first few bars of Angela, the first track of this project, I was hooked. The interplay between these two guitarists is so complimentary of each other. But even more than that, it’s conversational. It’s like listening to a couple of great story tellers. The sensitivity and responsiveness; the way they weave…
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.

Just as I mentioned in September’s issue, I love this time of year in Vegas. The weather couldn’t be better. Nice and cool, but not cold. Perfect for going out on photo walks. All of the photos in this issue were shot on Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 (and yes, all rolls were pushed to 400)….
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…
