portraits part one

For a while I had the opportunity to shoot portraits of musicians. This was fun. Portraits usually concentrated on their face or hands. Face? I mean unless you sing, you don't make music with your face. This is a portrait of a bass player, often the acoustic bass instrument is larger than the player's body, here I wanted so show the body as the bass. The bass is the heartbeat of a band, the thrumming of the music's blood in the ears. Yup.
