Funny, that doesn't bother me at all. I kind of like it, in fact. What bothers me is the small drum on the bottom edge of the frame that you can just see part of. On the other hand, I like the way the two out of focus drums kind of lead your eyes up to the face of Dr. Kwasi. >I wish I could hear him playing... He's *really* good. He's been playing for a very long time, though. Take a look at the photo again and try to tell yourself this man is 70 years old. Really, he is. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
