Re: PESO: Greg on Sax

[Paul Stenquist]

I like this. The composition works with the out of focus guitar player 
balancing the prominent sax man on the left. The light is extremely 
hard and direct. That combined with the high contrast gives you a look. 
It's reminiscent of old Speed Graphic flash pictures. However, I have 
to wonder how this might look with more subtle light. What is the stage 
lighting? Could you try high speed film, like TXT 3200 and do some work 
with just the light in the bar? A faster, shorter lens might be 
interesting  as well. Just a thought. But that being said, I do like 
what you've done here. It's retro and cool.

(especially tonight's PAW) make me decide to submit this as a PESO, to
get immediate feedback, which I find so valuable.  Last jazz shot for
a while, I promise (last decent one from that session, too):

I actually cropped a bit <vbg>.  Personally, I think it's the
strongest photo of that session, but I'd really like to hear your
thoughts.  It's times like this that I realize what a valuable
educational tool this list can be.
thanks,
