Living the Blues -post your images

[dave lackey]

Beautiful images every time I check in. Thank you all for your hard work and sharing with us.

Sadly, I have little to share as we enter the holiday season. In fact, I have nothing. It will be that way for awhile as I am bound to drift. Nothing can change that.

As for the moment, I have returned to my comfort zone of writing, black and white photography and music, specifically… Slow Blues. Who can resist the emotions in words paraphrased as:

Walk a mile in my shoes…
If you really want to help me,
You gotta feel my pain, oh lord…

Hey, Dave.
A literal portrait of the blues:







This one has always given me a feeling of being isolated and alone--something that leads to the blues:






But then I always get a smile when I look at this one, taken when visiting a friend in the hospital a few years ago:





I hope I didn't miss the point of the thread. I love the blues because the songs always make me feel better.

Yes, the Blues are perfect for making anyone feel better. I need to learn a few more songs in order to play my favorites. Maybe after the holidays I can get started on that.

Gotta love the Blues!

More photos would be great!😃😃😃

Btw, these are really nice images you posted. I love the third one, with motion blur and the body language is great. I am hoping to start a marathon film developing effort and have some of my own to share… my backlog is growing…😮

Keith, you really captured the intimacy of low light, small spaces, and ambiance. 🙂

Thanks Dave ... that was in our local hall many moons ago on a Saturday night. It was a great night!

This is an excellent thread, thanks for it. I love the blues very much and this is my contribution

The photo was taken in Central Park in 2014 with a Zeiss 6x6 folder, Ikonta something.
