Shot today during a Tournament, the Solstice A-Tier in Birmingham, Al.

Comments appreciated. Hey to all the Disc Golfers out there.

extremely evocative..mysterious and great tonal feel.

superior compostion and light. A great image. I love when cool tones are contrasted with warm tones like this. It appeals to the human heart. Now if only some tiny human figure had walked down into the lower warm tones of the street for scale.

I don't always like the subject in the center of the frame but this time it works great. It helps having the horizon line low in the frame. It allows him to dominate the frame as well as his world.

nice!

really nicely printed, bringing the deeper tones down, fading into black. The light keeps the eyes where you want it, his eyes hold you. Great job

I love the depth of tones in this, the architectural quality of her form, hand positions and downward glance. I also liked the hint of detail in the backdrop. Almost looks like an alabaster statue

Playing in one-time home club Antone's in Austin with his original band the Fabulous

Thunderbirds. Jimmy, brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan, has an amazing smooth style steeped in

the vintage sounds of fellow Texan TBone Walker and Slim Harpo.

48 hours after minor eye surgery this week i decided to do a self-portrait. I just aimed the

macro lens back into my eye as I looked into late afternoon sun and got this one sharp.

I'm looking forward to seeing better.

Chubby Checker performs in a small club in Texas in 1979. Small but adoring crowd and a

great show.

Thanks to everyone who was generous with their comments this year and to everyone who

looked further and saw more, shot more and lived more.

 

Have a great new years and 2008. Happy Shooting!

more old scans from the past. Found a couple of the old rock hippie himself, this one as he

gets up from his keyboards. A strange concert. He played only a song or two in an old

gymnasium before there was a bomb threat. Since there were only 50 people there, everyone

believed he had someone call it in so he didn't have to play.

From my 'way back' machine, this is from my college days. Sha Na Na, mostly forgotten now,

was a fun retro band and great fun live.

Amazing shot! Composed perfect, sense of scale is spot on. Dramatic with grey's and muted colors.

Congrats. Wouldn't change a thing.

The always great George Strait. this shot from a concert in l988.

Fats Domino is finally getting the respect he deserves, even if it is because of the hardships

he's been through as a Hurricane Katrina survivor. This shot is from a concert in l982.

 

Slowly adding more concerts from the past to my portfolio again.

-romantic and moody

Shot during a rural Mardi Gras celebration in SW Louisiana some years ago. This guy was

relaxing during a lunch break from his 'ride'.

shot at a zoo. The crowds were trying to find him but he was hidden in a bamboo thicket.

After being spotted, I shot with a long lens that pulled him out of the shadows.

Amazing that I recognized him as I walked along the sidewalk in Miami Beach. Cab Callaway,

who recently passed away, was sitting there parked and smiling. I just took a couple quick

shots and left, not wanting to bother him. But then, he hardly looks bothered. He was smiling

and seemingly having a great time.
