Matt Bottos

haha … great stuff!! My only problem with this is that guitar is waaaaay too cool to be nerdy ;)
benthebrown replied

Glad it made you laugh, that’s kinda what I was going for. I am trying to take some shots that have opposing ideas in the one shot!

great shot, the look on your sons face is priceless..and I agree with Matt, Washburns are way cool…ok I’m a bit biased (I love my Washburn Falcon and have been known to take pics of it)....I’ll have to check out the rest of your PF

I don’t know if ‘m pulled more towards Elvis Costello, Devo or ol Buddy Holly (though… isn’t that Pat Benitar’s hair?).
awesome shot.
