I will be at the Jazz Hall Wednesday evening photographing this event. I do this at no charge to the Jazz Hall because I believe in their mission. Problem is..I have a good friend who needs one ticket only to the reception, dinner and presentation. I will trade my talent and hours in exchange for ONE ticket.
Please respond a.s.a.p.
Sincerely,
Michael Trainer
