I love this image! But, I thought that color distracted from the feeling. I tried it in greyscale...but it wasn't quite right. I think the sepia tones really convey the emotion I'm looking for.
Photography is my first artistic love. I've considered myself a serious amateur ever since I entered the digital world and had the freedom to experiment without the costs of film and processing. I have two favorite subject areas....nature, and live music.
I am an "over the top" Bruce Hornsby fan. I've seen him numerous times and have been photographing him in concert for the last 3 or 4 years. I have an archive of these photographs at my website in the Live Music gallery. But, I take the opportunity to photograph any musical performance that happens to be in a venue that allows it. Last night, I had just such an opportunity when we saw Keb' Mo'.
I'd seen him one other time as an opener for Bonnie Raitt. That was at a major venue where they clearly stated NO PHOTOGRAPHY! But last night, I was much more fortunate. While they announced no photography, the signs for the event said no FLASH photography. So, I took my chances. I thought I'd share a few images here....and more will be posted on the website soon.
I consider myself a serious amateur photographer. I enjoy photographing nature and landscapes, travel destinations, and macro subjects. I take thousands of images a year and am happy to have the opportunity to share a few here with you.
