The Neutral Ground, first person. Mine.

By in Black & White, Music

The first Friday of each month I play at the Neutral Ground Coffee House in Uptown.

I’ve been playing this same gig since I was a senior in High School.  So, when I walk in each month, I automatically skip over the different coffee smells, eclectic wall art, and dim lighting–all because I’m so used to seeing it.  Even taking pictures of bands that play here seems a little blasé.

This time was different though. I brought my camera and did a reversal. I took pictures from the spot where most photographers would be taking pictures of.

Here they are.

And as a little bonus, Sal grabbed my camera while we were at Frankie & Johnnies before the show and took a snap of me. Even though I’m out of focus, I like the effect. To his credit, it was kind of dark and that never makes focusing easy!

    Well Joe after looking at these photos, they look very cool. Some even look like people I know. LOL I don’t know much about this kind of computing. But maybe someday I will know what is going on in this world of ours. Love You. Guess WHO!!!! I believe the second picture looks like some one I have known for a long time.
