Nick on The Rhode

[Gremlich]

This picture of my friend Nick was taken during the "Rogues on the Rhode" Operation Ward 57 benefit. Operation Ward 57 (OW57) is named after Ward 57, the amputee ward at Walter Reed Hospital in DC. Nick, one of the OW57 Board of Directors, is an amputee himself whom the OW57 effort has helped. He traveled with his band "Writing Home" from North Carolina to play this past Saturday (28 May) to participate with The Rogues and several other acts including The Crew (three very young guys from Howard County, Maryland) and Marc Anderson DesRochers from Mt Tremblant, Quebec. The combined total donated during this event was almost $50k USD. The prior events The Rogues have held amounted to just under $10k and brings the total raised by them to approximately $57k!! The event was supported by Brits, Kiwis, Ozzies, Canadians and Americans. Go Colonies, eh!

How is that for good works.

works really well in B&W, it has it all mood, tones and a story

Thanx, and for what it's worth, this was not a posed shot. I get to be onstage/backstage for a lot of my time with the bands.

Nice. He seems very intent on playing. Nice moment caught here.

Nice mood caught. I also like the perspective used.
