Photo-A-Week – Jazz Fest Weekend Two
So much to see, so little time to take photos. This weekend proved to be a bit more difficult getting around because of the lack of golf carts, but that did give me a greater sense of appreciation for all those true, die-hard Jazz Festers who walk all day.
Anyway, I managed to see many different bands at several different stages and loved it all. With four full days of activity and big names, it’s hard to choose just one to feature. So I’ll just pick one of my top favorite performances and emotion in the photograph.
Buddy Guy had a blast. He was rocking the Blues Tent like mad and you could tell. The tent was overflowing with people. All standing and dancing. I caught the beginning and the end of his show and I knew I had missed out in the middle. Let’s just say he ended by not only playing guitar with a rag, yes I said he played guitar by swinging a rag, but he then played with his teeth. I was enjoying his show so much that I didn’t want to be behind the lens. I wanted to catch it all first hand.
That says a whole lot for Buddy Guy. The man actually got me out from behind my camera. He is truly a entertainer.
Here he paused just long enough. He looked me dead in the eyes, through the camera, and I felt it. He told me a secret. One that is mine and mine alone.
