Creativity in the Capital: Elle Jaye and Gabe Nelson
For over 20 years, Sacramento photographer Elle Jaye has been playing with light, water and laughter to capture electric images in her work. At 12 years old, Sacramento musician Gabe Nelson found a guitar in his mother’s closet. A trade from guitar to bass eventually saw him as the bassist for the band Cake, which he left in 2015. The two met for the first time at a creaky table in the living room of Nelson’s Sacramento home.
