Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

Nice concert shot!

Yes, just look at that dreamy expression on the face of that colorful dude. He is in Nirvana. Not only do we have him in this fine foto, but dig that ear splitting speaker system behind him. If he didn't wear ear protection, then bye bye hearing.

How true, what harry wrote: Those sound systems are huge, and rock musicians play in front of them all the time---I never knew how they kept their hearing for even a year. Anyway, this is a terrific rock shot, one of several in your gallery (or of several performing shots, if not actual rock: You've photographed blues musicians too, which also were terrific performance shots). It's not just his absorbed pose, it's your very intuitive lighting---I know the 'actual' lighting comes from the stage, but you captured (and postworked, I assume) the lighting in a way very indicative of rock concerts: Intense, with strong light and dark contrasts, and that feel of intimacy on the musician, even as he/she is surrounded by a huge stage and crowd: That dichotomy of rock performance, that's intimate and huge at the same time. And because of your lighting---and your perfect choice of black and white---the background is just right: the speakers seem like abstract art as much as speakers. A fine capture of a musical performance, in fine, surreal black and white. I love it. (Marilyn, I'm not faving because when the server's out, you may not even get an ebot. But just know your whole gallery is a fav for me. And this shot would be one too. You do terrific work with musicians. You must've been one in your past life...)
