Double Bass
by K. Praslowicz ~ June 23rd, 2007Last night I was out at Sir Benedict’s Tavern having some drinks, and there was live music being played on their stage.

The sad ways in which some photos blossom
by K. Praslowicz ~ January 22nd, 2008Please take a look at the latest photo I just uploaded, “Wesly Ngetich, 2007.”
I looked at it once when I proofed it, determined the flare and blur was too much, and put it aside.
