The Blues

.
From the St. Louis Festival of Nations. American blues certainly counts as part of the spectrum of international musical art. This picture is one of the early shots in my hands project. Those arched fingers cover a harmonica, a blues harp. So simple an instrument, yet so capable of the sound of human melancholy.

TOMORROW: K KK KK KK Kat... (guest photo). Time to head way, way east. No Arch picture this week.

Great hand shot. I love hands as a subject, as well.

I'm back. I want to add that this portrait reminds me of something our friend Snapper would take, in BW of course. And don't worry, while you're outta pocket, I"ll keep a close eye on A. in your absence. I'm sure he'll be thrilled.
