Johnny Winter

Johnny Winter, Madison Square Garden
This image made at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's....Note that they had people sitting right on the stage - such a different time in live music......not only that but you cold shoot the entire show and use flash if necessary...I was never much of a flashy on camera guy but in this case it helped to show the folks on stage......killed the stage lighting but had to get the shot...

Photographed with a Nikon F series camera using ektachrome color slide film
transferred to the digital world using an Imacon scanner

New Orleans Jazzfest



Great day at the Jazzfest yesterday. Weather cooperated and I got to see quite a mixture of artists - Zydeco, Jazz, Blues, rock and roll to name just a few. For me the highlight was being in the Jazz tent seeing Ahmad Jamal one of America's influential jazz pianists - arguably the in the same league as Charlie Parker.

Ahmad is 81 years old this year and still out there doing it - if you get the chance please catch a show...

This is one of those images that I am proud to have my signature on....
