This one has to be one of my favorites.
I can see how "lost" this man is in his own private world at this point. Likely more lost completely but, that's besides the point. LOL The awkward position of his feet and arms, tell us that he is two sheets to the wind but, totally feeling that music take his drunken and very uncooridinated body into a "groove" of his own and within his own realm, seemingly either unaware of who is watching or, loving the attention. Limbered up to just let loose. The fact that you captured this moment so directly, has me entranced in this photo.
Sorry about your dinner! LOL |

We just came back from a blues fest and we saw this same guy, although he looked a bit different. He danced the same and like you said, he was experiencing as much joy as anyone else on the planet. Great candid. |

absolutely great shot; it should be filled with humor, but its not. the black and white adds a gravitas, but the focus is strikingly sharp and the subject fills the frame unobstructed. You can't take your eyes off- and the only distraction is the strong focus on the cd's behind the dude. |

Absolutely one of your best. It's so solidly put together, and makes you smile. The sign above puts the cherry on top. |

beautifully done, my friend; perhaps a little dominant in the mid-greys for my eye, but that's personal. I always have a slight concern about an element of making fun of people in these kind of shots: there's a temptation to think your intention is akin to 'look at his weirdo, hahaha!' - something I get very strongly from Diane Arbus for instance - a lack of sympathy. I'm not quite sure where this stands, but in the end I think he's just having too good a time by himself for that to be an issue. The spillage/staining down his leg pushes things the other way. Properly interesting and thoughtful photograph though, all the same. Fine indeed. |
