Manhattan's
November 19, 2003
An assignment that sounded simple enough turned into a technical challenge when I actually saw the conditions. Shooting the jazz trio would have been hard enough with the low light level in the club but I had no idea they would literally be playing in the shadows. I ended up making a picture highlighting the lack of light on a band member.

That's not only a good solution to your problem, but one that produced a lovely shot.

I have been contracted to do a website for Ben Wolkins, the featured musician, in your photo. I would like permission to use the photo on his website. I think the photo is a very interesting portrait of Ben. Ben has agreed that it would be a good start.
I would credit you for the photo on the webpage.
Thank you
