How much better does it get than one great musician honoring another? In Walked Bud is a tribute by Thelonious Monk to great bebop pianist Bud Powell. Monk’s contribution to bebop was to add some space helping to deconstruct it some. Space needs deconstruction from time to time.

In my perfect photographic world there is a face that is partly in light and partly in shadow. Why? I couldn’t begin to say other than that evokes a feeling of visual perfection. Light and dark, maybe good and evil? I really don’t know other than I’m on a never ending quest to capture those faces. Chiaroscuro is my journey, you heading there too?

We like things in neat little sanitized packages of bloodless convenience. Sure-no screams , no feathers, no commercials. All news-all the time. The Buck stops here-I know couldn’t resist

Chicken Strut by the Meters with very cool video/dance production.

When I saw this shot in my view finder-the first thought that went through my head was-Man in Black. There is something so cool and badass about all black. Like a desperado on the high plains or something like that. Johnny Cash is known as the Man in Black probably because he always dressed in black and  performed a song called “The Man in Black” as well.
