rock city... by Ray Schloss

rock city... by

ok… so i met a professional photographer at a gallery that is going to be carrying my stuff (now i just need to paint it!). had an idea for a portrait of my sons and i. wanted us to have our guitars and get an album cover kind of feel, but not have it look contrived. he agreed to swap the portraits for some of my art (thank you Lord!).

this was an overcast day around 2 PM. his very kind girlfriend had the exact idea for this positioning. together they make an awesome creative team.

i’ve been playing since i was 10. both my sons are already way past where i was at their ages. what a blessing that they both love music and really want to pursue playing. and yes, for you musicians out there (this does mean you, blam) we are a bit weighted towards the fender side of the spectrum.

this is only one of a number of poses he took. will post the others over time.
