It was a great opening for the first exhibition of Scott Smith’s photographs of Tom Waits at Mr Musichead Gallery in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful evening and the gallery was packed from the start to the finish of the opening reception. Above is one of the framed photos of Tom Waits by Smith from the exhibition.
