Hi Bill, http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/norcalpdml_sf_009-2bw.htm
The book in the foreground looks to be some photos of the drummer and may have some relationship to the DVD's behind it, which may also be related to the sign in front of the fellow which mentions, if I'm reading it right, a TV appearance. I'd really like to see a larger pic which shows more detail. Also, the crop off the top may not be such a good idea. After looking at the pic a bit more, I saw another person's face peeking from behind the tree. That could be another element in the scene worth keeping. The ideal setup for this pic would have been to photograph the signs, the book, the DVD's, as they all add something to the story, and then start photographing the scene. Sometimes, when a photog comes across a scene such as this, he or she wades right in and starts shooting. Waiting a bit, making a few shots here and there, but carefully assessing the scene while so doing, allows for catching a photo with greater depth and meaning. This is where a technique that involves some ~personal~ contact between photog and the subject (which may not be just the drummer), can improve the final results substantially.
