Default This is my "work atmosphere" ;)

I have so much fun doing my "JOB" lol Being a photographer has to be one of the best jobs in the world! Here's a few more photos of a band's performance i did at a local music hall and one of a beautiful soulful fellow playing the sax at a wedding a few months ago. Hope you guys enjoy! and... i've missed all of you guys too!

The singer and his lead guitar player... they rocked!

Kimi, these are all very nice.....reall, I like them all quite equally! Maybe an edge to the third beause of the clarity and the lighting, but for the same reasons I like #2 alot too.....You're getting really good!

Kimi, Wow. The soulful expressions in each of these photos is just wonderful. You can practically hear the music, feel the power of their voices and instruments and get a sense of the atmosphere of the performance. Your love of your work shines through these photos! Well done! Uh...did I mention...I'm so jealous!

They are all great shots... But the 3rd really stands out to me. It's just like a poster...

Excellent, Kimi! I like the first because you have them in tandem with the same posture. There's a graininess in the smoke of the shot of the drummer which really enhances the black and white. The composition on the third is superb, the singer on the left hand side with the rays of light shining down from the right, I can see why it is your favorite. The fourth represents the quintissential saxaphone player and I can see why you couldn't stop taking photos of him. These are really very good and show a lot of photographic talent.

Thank you Mike! I'm so darn happy with myself right now and you guys are just adding to it with all of your sweet comments! What's even better is that i've not only improved some in my photography skills because of this site and all of you but my "graphic designer" husband showed me the ropes in Photoshop and now it's like I can take a really good photo and make it fantastic! anyway thanks to all for the comments, made my night and my morning!
Kimi
