Some truly classic cars on display at Winterthur Estate several years ago. The 1959 Red Cadillac was photographed at Solomons Island, MD. Gotta love those fins…

The main point of my comment is that I really liked your post processing of all of the photos you have shared. The sailing ship knocked my socks off!

This is an easy mistake to make, especially since both B.B. King & Muddy Waters did a great deal of recording in Chicago and it makes sense that the city would honor both with a huge portrait on a building.
I wasn't being critical of your post. Really enjoy your photos. However…

Not wanting to be a noodge, but I believe the last photo is actually Muddy Waters, not B.B. King. Other than that, the photos and PP are outstanding.

I'm looking at your wonderful photograph and in my head The Kinks are singing “…So tired…Tired of waiting…Tired of waiting for you…”
I really admire your work so much.

So “You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans” PAR4DCR. Sorry, I just couldn't pass up the musical sub-reference. What an amazing city. I was only there for three days and I fell in love. I can't wait to get back. Thanks for viewing my photos and commenting.

mcnamara, you're very perceptive. Intensity versus carefree indifference?

A walk through the French Quarter, in New Orleans, is a musical adventure, by any means. Caught these two aspiring drummers polishing their rhythmic skills in “Get On The Backbeat.”
“I Can See…For Miles” highlights the barriers that music, IMHO, tears down, i.e. an obvious difference in age disappears in the impromptu street performance.
A sunny day on the National Mall and the sweet melody of a lone harmonica…what’s not to love?
“Into The Mystic” - Van Morrison would approve, I believe.
“Make Levees, Not War” - Ivan Neville performing with Dumpstafunk.
Nick Daniels performing with the band Dumpstafunk and very “into” the tune.
Ira Neville, also performing with Dumpstafunk.
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” captures the climax of an emotional solo.
I hope you enjoy these glimpses into my appreciation for all kinds of musical expression.

I started getting paid to play music at 10-11 years old. Music has been my passion all of my life and I have been around musicians as long as I can remember. As a photographer, musicians are some of my favorite subjects. Herein lies a collection of some of my favorites.
“Piano Man” is a composite of my father, the best pianist I ever worked with and a complete musician/singer.
“A change Gonna Come” is Donald Cope a licensed street performer in Savannah, GA and a truly gifted singer.
“Charlie Parker Said…” is an alto saxophone busker working the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. I watched him for 15-20 minutes and he never played a note of music, but held forth an animated conversation with a security guard, outside of this frame.
“Curtis Blues” is a one-man band (he's also playing a kick drum & tambourine) who sometimes busks outside the Torpedo Factory, in Old Town, Alexandria, VA.
“Fingertips” is this incredible gentleman who plays water glass harp. The juxtaposition of his wrinkled hands and the smoothness of his “instrument” absolutely fascinated me and I took over a dozen shots, from various angles. To hear him bounce from classical pieces to Broadway showtimes with nimble facility was awe-inspiring.
Forgive my vanity. “Jam Session” is me playing tenor sax in a “pick-up” group in 1967 or ’68.

It's very heart-warming that "Looking For A Friend" speaks to you, Vince68. That was my hope that it would speak to others, as it did me when I took the photograph.
