Obviously a well trained Voss disciple :-) Good shot!
Got to thinking about your comment. Several people have PMed me about how to take shots, and my advise is pretty well summarized in this photo. I took close to 300 shots during this festival, and the majority of them (including this one) were taken "from the hip" as is shown here. He may have been shooting as we look, but disarming his subject by glancing aside.
