This is a dancer from Rhythm Village, the act that opened for Joan Baez last night. Wow. The music and dancing was really exciting. None of the photos turned out very well, but at least this one expresses how big and thrilling the movement was. This is like trance-dancing. It was hard to stay in my seat.
Joan Baez was fabulous. So generous. She got us singing along on the very first song, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. There were problems with the sound system, but she handled it with grace.
In fact, the word that kept coming to mind was "graceful," from the way she joined in with Rhthym Village's last song, to the way she handled the sound problems, to her seemingly effortless singing. She did a few acapella songs and even danced to a little bit of Greek-style guitar riffing while one of the techs tried to fix her guitar or the guitar pick-up.
Wonderful evening.

What camera are you using to photograph? Your last several photos have been stunning.
Why...Thank you!
I'm using a Kodak EasyShare Z7590 that I've had for almost a year. The name sounds rinky-dink, but it really seems to have a knack for picking up light.
Sometimes I feel like I just show up and stand behind it and trust it. But I'll bet you've had that same feeling when the writing is going particularly well!
I'd like to move up to a single lens reflex digital with more pixels and the capacity for various lenses. But this also has the advantage of not being very large (though it's not one of those incredibly small ones, either.)
I paid about $250 right around Christmas last year, so there are probably either better deals on it out there now, or more powerful models for the same price, no matter what Kodak thinks they can get for them.
TMI??
