a photo collage of musical giants

Postby davidpenalosa » Thu Aug 26, 2010 6:50 am

While searching for photos to use in my books The Clave Matrix and Rumba Quinto, I came across a lot of cool historic pictures online. I compiled photos of musicians who have influenced me in this album, my latest waste-time-on-Facebook project. With a few exceptions, I did not include the great musicians of my generation. Most of these masters have since passed on. This collage began with a few pics and has since ballooned into what you see here. I could easily include four times the amount of people, but I had to stop and get back to work. You can see it here:

I've attached four sample photos here, taken from the one hundred and twelve pics in the album.
