This one I find particularly imaginative - the lines, the light reflections - cool balanced by the warmth of a hand.

Wonderful collection of photos - thanks.

That must have been a great concert!

I love the first two shots especially. They remind me of the shots of musicians that Blue Note put on its album covers.

Re: fOtofair2006: Portraits in Blue (4.00 / 14)

Hey dada, Elvin Bishop is awesome. I saw him here at a large charity biker run, & he had the crowd jumping. He`d come out in the audience & pick a nice girl to strum his axe while he do the chord changes. That meant that he always had his arms wrapped around her, seemingly, more to his benefit. He put on a great show. I`m glad you were able to get in close & enjoy the tunes as well as being priviledged to take these shots. A trip, I`m sure.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

Thanks Head! (4.00 / 8)

yeah, he ALWAYS gets a 'babe' out of the crowd and brings them on stage...puts on a great show. They played almost 2 hrs...ran a bit over the allotted closing time...but hey, the cows were late!

Had my first Media/Photo Pass for this fest...got me backstage and photo pit access in front of the stage...way fun, very long day and shot about 300 pics...earplugs required...:{)
