Hi!
Dave Young is one of Canada's best jazz bass players. Last spring he
was playing a Saturday afternoon gig at The Pilot bar here in Toronto.
Lighting was really dim, and I didn't have a flash (and wouldn't have
wanted to use one). I shot HP5+ at 1600, and even then the exposures
were 1/15th at f2.0 (wide open). I kind of like this one. He's a
tall man, but when he gets into it, he hunches right over the bass,
almost cradling it with his body. All commentrs are welcome:

Frank, it does not work really for me... I'll try to explain.
I see two men, but only one face... Both men are busy playing their
instruments... The man with the bass is of course more interesting
'cause the exposure is long and the movement is there... However I don't
see his face. The other man is half-smiling half-looking at you... He
gets significant part of my attention.
So may be it would be logical here to say that my attention is broken
into two pieces and I cannot unite them.
Technically as usual, it is very good, but I think I should actually
stop saying that ;-).
Hope you don't mind my brutal honesty.
Boris
