Jazz Portraits

Venturing into the digital darkroom after scanning my jazz negs. Most photos were taken with cameras borrowed or rented from the best rental - Pan Pacific (Hollywood Bowl photos). Never thought of myself as a photographer. Just tried not to screw up the moments I saw in front of me.
