A glimpse inside the Generations in Jazz: Four Photographers exhibit running now through April 30. I am very honored to be a part of this exhibit and thankful for all that I have learned in the process of putting this exhibit together.
The first photo is our opening exhibit wall and the second photo is some of my photos displayed in the exhibit.
