I actually have a series of these – photos of people (kids mostly) getting lost in the music – but this is the first one to make it on this blog. I took this shot of my little niece showing off her rapidly advancing skillz about a half a year ago, when we were both visiting my grandmother in Houston, TX. Since then, Dina has probably gone up a few more notches.

On an unrelated note, I’m about to go off to New Zealand for just under a month. As you may have guessed, I’m packing tons of film and certainly more cameras than I need. Hell, I’m still contemplating bringing along my alien bees complete with a giant battery pack for a full mobile studio. Still not sure which way I’m gonna lean on that one. It also means that there will likely not be any updates for a little while. Or not – the laptop’s coming with me and I may feel inspired to do something digital… You never know…
