Clarinet, Preservation Hall, New Orleans

Sometimes I move the camera to create motion blur, sometimes the subject does it for me. The lighting in jazz venues is rarely bright but, in 1990 at least, there was little more than a couple of table lamps in Preservation Hall, New Orleans; with Kodachrome 64 in the camera the blur of the musician’s movement was as inevitable as it was welcome.

    I like the “smoothness” of this. Really captures a jazzy clarinet essence.
