I love looking at old shoots I have done.  My career so far has been in the newspaper industry, the sports world and now in the corporate and architectural realm.  I, like so many of my counterparts, have covered a myriad of events that have helped shaped my career and myself as a person.

Music is one of  the sources of enjoyment, enrichment and creativity that is part of our daily lives.  It is the stories real or unreal of our daily live that the musicians have created to share  with  us.  It evokes emotion.

One of the finest bluesmen ever is B.B. King.  I had the honor of photographing him when he was 79 years old during a concert and meet and great afterward.  What a treat.  The music was great.  In fact, I left there wondering as good as the show was how good he must have been  30, 40 or 50 years ago when he was in much better health.  Or……. is music, like photography, like good wine, better with age?  Nothing beats experience and passion, they just enrich  our lives.

After the show I had to take meet and greet photos of the VIPs with The King and Lucille.  After finishing B.B. looked over at me and smiled and asked “Would you like a picture with The King and Lucille?”  I’ll never forget that.
