This being Without Prejudice, I can't tell you how much I like that one, Rob. So I won't.  :)

Thanks, guys; I quite enjoy this kind of thing, gives me something to do that's more interesting to me than my navel, the various contours of which are far too familiar to me already.

That might be a good title for an exhibit: "Substitutes for my Navel."   ;)

Another concert, same pianist. This one was complicated by the lighting tech going missing, so some guy rustled up at the last minute came and made random movements of the sliders... I was shooting manually at 3200iso, somewhere between f/5.6 & 1/90 and f/2.8 & 1/6, with a 70-200, an APC sensor and a monopod...

The second one is alarming: did she fall off her stool or was she trying for a Jerry Lee Lewis thing and slipped? Not all of us can lift out feet to keyboard height and get away with it. Now she knows.

She was also plucking the strings directly with her right hand, below the keyboard. There were various things attached down there, ranging from wooden clothes-pegs to 1/4" cup-hooks bolted through the string-pairs, with bits of putty attached to tune them. All in the spirit of John Cage and his prepared piano works. There was also a stage when one of the dancer/singers crawled between her legs, a bit of a Harvey Keitel / Holly Hunter moment from The Piano...

In that case, I'm glad I can look at the photographs without having to listen. The only thing Cage wrote that's ever appealed to me is 4'33".

Shot well before I knew what I was doing, with my first interchangeable lens camera ever.

Thanks, Eric and Peter; I'm afraid it comes easily - the problem is avoiding it!

As long as you can still sometimes find the sweet and not only the bitter, you'll be OK.
