UPAA Symposium, Nikon Shootout

"… Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye

… All the sad young men, sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights, and missing all the stars

… All the sad young men, drifting through the town
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown

… All the sad young men, singing in the cold
Trying to forget, that they're growing old

… All the sad young men, choking on their youth
Trying to be brave, running from the truth..."

-Roberta Flack

Moment during Gregory Heisler lighting demo

We were walking downtown and noticed a band practicing in the front of an empty restaurant.  I distinctly remember one of them saying "this is awkward" when they saw me close to the glass.  I appreciate they use an empty suitcase as the bass drum.

I used a rental camera for this.  I didn't notice that my in-camera clock was wrong.  I have at least two people that can vouch for me. )
