 Lee Manning Photography 27742 West Frontage Road, Unit 3 Santa Fe, NM 87507 505-471-1422 Studio Sessions by Appointment Only   Lee Manning was introduced to photography when he realized he could create a fine art image with available light and shadows. Right out of college to a year in an Eskimo village, he saw a life and culture that survives in harsh winter, and he saw how the Eskimo people learned to exist during these extreme conditions. He photographed extensively the new culture that so influenced him. During the next 40 years he traveled to over thirty countries, photographing the people and landscapes in each of them. He now resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Manning has won many photography awards, and has exhibited throughout the United States, Portugal, Italy, and recently in Singapore. Several of his images were purchased by a film company to be prominently featured in a movie soon to be released. He recently was selected by the State of New Mexico to hang his work in conjunction with the Art in Public Places program. He shoots exclusively black and white film, and develops and prints his own work in his darkroom. ================================== Musical Jokes "How late does the band play?" "About half a beat behind the drummer." "What sort of people hang around musicians?" "Drummers." A lady stopped to ask a musician on the street in New York. "Pardon me, can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" The musicians answers, "Practice." What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine shaft? "A flat minor." What do you get when you drop a piano on an army base? "A flat major." Why was the piano invented? So the musician would have a place to put his beer. Why is a person who plays piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race carnot called a racist? What do you call a musician who just broke up with his girlfriend? "Homeless." What is the difference between a musician and a fourteen-inch pizza? A fourteen-inch pizza can feed a family of four. There were two people walking down the street. One was a musician. The other didn't have any money either! Ever wonder why so few wind instrument players also play piano? It's too hard to lift the piano on end to drain out the spit. How does a guitarist commit suicide? He climbes to the top of his ego and throws himself off. |

 Chocolate for Health and Wealth Hello, my name is George.I have a background in music starting with the piano at eight, trumpet at thirteen. Along with the trumpet, I found jazz, and never got over it. I later majored in Music and English, then got drafted. After 7 years in the Air Force, I went on to many other things with music always on my mind and in my heart. When I finally moved to Santa Fe, I found a vibrant jazz community that I couldn't believe could be in a city this size. Feeling that the way to perpetuate jazz, it's necessary to get young people involved and educated in the music. This requires scholarships, instruments, instruction, and mentorship. With my discovery of Xocai and the huge healthy chocolate market, I see an opportunity to set up a fund for young musicians while helping to ease some of our health concerns. Seems like a win-win situation to me. I'm looking for like-minded jazz enthusiasts to get into a very well run company with a generous compensation plan and find ways to keep jazz alive and well. chocolate4jazz.com ----------------------------------------  For photographs of

| You're a Real Musician when: You realize that the cheers from the audience after a particularly difficult passage are for a sports play on the big screen TV over the bar, and that in fact, no one is listening to you. When the gig you drove 200 miles for to make $100, and had to pay for a hotel room, is later referred to as your "summer tour". When you are pleased that the pay for the gig, when looked at hourly from the time you leave your house to when you return meets minimum wage. You get to the gig to find out that nothing is comped, and you're charged $10 to park. When someone seeks you out to complement your playing as the "best sax player they have ever heard", and you're the trumpet player. When you are told that you must play until the very end of when you were contracted for, when your only audience is the bartender, and you're being paid 40 or 50 bucks for the night. When as a member of a blues band you no longer even pretend to smile when asked to play "Free Bird". When you know that other musicians who routinely claim they don't work for less than $100 a night only work a few times a year. When people who are drunk tell you that what you are doing is absolutely great and the best thing they have ever seen or heard, but refuse to pay more than $5 at the door. When you realize that asking women out that you meet on gigs doesn't work, for now they know you're a musician. When you get invited to play the same gig the following year, which means that you don't have tear down after this year's gig. |
