What I Did (And Learned) On My Winter Vacation

Negril

Each January for the past seven years, a group of die-hard Little Feat fans have headed for Negril, Jamaica to hear their favorite band perform on the beach. As you might imagine, when you put several hundred people with a shared interest together, strong friendships develop. Not only have I enjoyed the opportunity of getting to know the band members better, I've made wonderful friends and have spent time pursuing one of my other passions: photography.

Little Feat's keyboard player Bill Payne is an artist in every sense of the word. He plunged into photography a few years back and his skills shine there, too. A few weeks ago in Jamaica, he shared some of his work in a session called Tracing Footsteps. His images are magnificent. He uses a technique called layering in some of his shots, and he inspired me to try my hand at it.

Paul & Craig

I took a photo of a cracked concrete path and super-imposed it on a photo of Paul Barerre and Craig Fuller. The possibilities are limitless. Working with my creative side really makes me feel alive.

Tom

What could be better than you be in Paradice listening to a great band?

I went to Stonewood Maine to see Phish.....I think I remember that.

Kathy - It has indeed. Had a great time. Glad you enjoyed the beach shot.

Tom Great idea.

so please tell me about this layering....i was very interested as we sat and heard Bill explain what he used to get his effects.. ie. a glass baking dish.... do you need any special program. So you have a picture of a cracked sidewalk... how do you then blend the two photos.. inquiring minds would like to know.
