Photographer’s Note
I had to wait until today to post this one - otherwise you all might have said "Yeah sure, looks like someone all blurry and stuff."
This is my second frame of the veteran Blues keyboardist and harp player John Mayall posted in two days - but this one actually shows him during the refrain of "Room To Move". I purposely blurred the shots as he was moving with indescribable action during that song. Those of you that have heard it know what I mean, and I'm sure many of you have seen him do it live, too. He's pretty active for an older guy!
There are four shots taken and stitched in a simultaneous fashion, again I actually made this picture (I completed it with the frame the other day) on September 10 or 11, 2000 and the originals are no longer in my archive. I made it with the intention of doing something with it. I never knew that something would come along over eight years later!
Click here for my other John Mayall photo!
Well, today's Valentines Day so my wife and I will be spending the whole day together, I'll be doing something that really makes her happy - paying a lot more attention to her than the computers and other electronics around here!
I hope you all have a fine Valentines, too!

Hi, Reed -
Very great impressionist images of Mayall. I'm a fan of the Bluesbreakers and enjoy Mayall's harp playing. Interesting effect created by manipulating the shutter speed - the blurring and highlights here convey the energy of his movement. Well done.

It wouldn't normally be my cup-of-tea, but there is certainly something appealing about it. It could be the array of pastel colours against the black background that attracts me. Very artistic and creatively done.
