What an event! Looks like an awesome location for an African folk music event... looks natural and "at home"!

Again, magnificent fill-flash... Great framing... great moment...

I wish I could be as good!!!

Great picture. I remember seeing it at acp conference last yeara. The blood drive photo below it was great to see. Just a reminder that you are human.

Wait.... what conference? And what blood drive photo? Was this a college newspaper conference or something?

~djbarrios Jul 22, 2006

Yeah the associated college press conference in san francisco last year. Lots of great photographers were there. Blew anything I've seen in the midwest papers away.

One of the best photos I've seen on dA or anywhere else, it is very innovative and very good technically.
