A personal message from Jim Conrad
While some of these pictures are better than others, I figured some of the parents may want a shot that may not be perfect but shows their kids in action. It's really tough to shoot brass players in particular, because they mostly strike the same pose each time they play. Although some shots are redundant, maybe one might be better than others from each person's own view. Anyway I appreciate the opportunity to practice and gain experience. Thanks much to Tomas too for his professional insights!If you right-click a picture in the album you can "save picture as" to get a copy of the picture in the size you are viewing. Contact me if you need a full sized copy.
