...when night sings jazz... Photo

Photographer’s Note

it was still a young night,
huge building,
none in the corridor,
he picked up his horn,
and I took mine,
magic began,
night started to sing jazz,
in sounds and images,
the jazz musician blows his horn.

Ana, this shot is superb!
Wonderful feel, great lines separating the sax player from the opening, this is one of your strongest, if not the strongest work you have posted so far. Excellent eyes, Ana, I am amazed... just so beautiful...

Nice frame. I like the jazzy mood in the photo. Maybe the face should have been sharper.

I like the soft blur. I love the subject, in his dramatic pose and I really like the simplicity of the black and white. Its a very artistic shot Ana, one of the most artistic Ive seen today.

Fantastic shot, the blur I feel brings out the emotion of this wonderful instrument and would be a great album cover.

Ana,
wonderful moody shot, the musician with alone with his instruments and thoughs.
I love how he stands out from the light.
Thanks, Al.

best regards

A lovely blurr. A lovely contrasts. The lights and the contrasts works really well in the right framing. Very nice work, ana!

that is an awesome photo! I love it. I like how he is framed by the door. The door isn't even straight which is cool. Nice lighting and the blur really works here. Beautiful photo. JP

Hi Ana
Wonderful photo !
I like very much this mood.
I also like that the musician in the staircase seems to go towards another universe.
congrats

This is a nice picture of a musician, Ana,when I discover your post I was listening a Billie Holiday session, deep atmospher
you play here music with black, whith, grey , light and shade.in a creative way.
It's reminds me, in a more classical way, theese old BW pictures of jazzmen in 40 and 50.

Hi Ana. Wow, what a great photo, the composition is very good, i like how the man is framed, the shadows and shades of the doorway. great job.

Hello Ana, beautiful photograph conveying so many dreams and so many symbols. The composition and the atmosphere are fantastic. Very good work.

rosiegirl (2042) 2005-11-12 2:14

Its quite beautiful- the angle causing the design of the doorway just needed a saxophone player in it. The dark shades and bright contrast is really fantastic. I like how at the top of the saxophone, it kind of just disipears, like you're not quite sure if this whole scene is actually real. Great work!

Hello, Ana :)
what a super shot! i remember when i lived in Rio, back to the 80´s, i used to listen to the sound of a sax - certainly one of my neighbors rehearsing - at the end of the day. i´ve never known who used to play, but i´ve never forgotten it either. and now, looking to your shot, i have also the sound :)
brilliant work, girl, congratulations!
beautiful,

Hi Ana! Very artistic photo, I like the movement and the strong backlight of it. Absolutely the right choice shooting this with B&W, wouldn't be as strong with colors. Great job - I like your poet too.. =)

See you, jarkko

AmiBe (6042) 2005-11-13 13:11

Hi Ana,
great b&w, I like the high contrast.
Good use of the room's volume, the musician is well placed.
Well done

I feel the sound - Nicely done

Really good - a dream like image, just like some kind of late night smoky Jazz club...

Tristan-z (1031) 2006-11-14 6:56

Trés belle image. Bravo!

Mistral (13776) 2007-01-13 9:16

Hi Ana,
Excellent moody image! I think it's just perfect the blurring, the light and the general composition. Very well done!
A smile for your week end.
