Sly Smile / by Dave Hileman

This is another shot from the 2011 Richmond Folk Festival. I really like shooting events like this but they are challenging. There are large crowds, limited movement for me - (no press pass!), terrible lighting and lots of movement. But it is really fun and occasionally like this image you get something a bit special from the performer. This bass player was part of a jazz trio that included a singer. I watched him for a long time. He was neat and impeccably dressed. His cuff links would shine occasionally as the spots hit them. He was super concentrating on his music but one time in the midst of a song he got this slight, sly smile. Loved it.
