Photoshop Magic

Just had to share this. If the Sing Out photo above isn't exactly what you remember, it is because Photoshop was able to remove the two large speakers and their stands that were at the front corners of the stage. The only noticeable artifact is one of the windows behind us and I could have fixed that. You can't trust any photo as being what the camera lens captured. SteveW
