I'm playing a couple of shows this month with Slow Gherkin- a ska band I started back in high school. Wow, that's a long time ago. Because we are all over the country now a group press shot would be impossible. Here is the solution. Start with a good clean photo of the 5 of us that could be there (by Rudy Ramos) and add in the rest. Time was an issue, and as a result Achilles didn't make it into the final pic due to his low-res submission.

Peter's pic was pretty clean, but shot at a much higher level than the original...the feet give it away |

Ross' pic was low quality, but large enough to work with- same foot problem |

James' boss snapped this and masked it saving me some time- hey look, bad angle again! |

Final was cropped low to hide the different camera angles |
I had spliced more background into the final on the left side to make room for Achilles, but then cropped it off anyways.
