I popped legendary blues bad boy Bob Stroger walking down the street at Chicago's Blues Fest.
Bob's been playin' bass for thirty nine years.
And he's still lovin' it.
He used to live in the back of a nightclub on the west side of Chicago where guys like Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters played.
You can listen to some of Bob's music here www.myspace.com/bobstroger
I had a great time gettin' into all kinds of mischief at Blues Fest... I popped a lot of people and I crashed backstage and worked some 'Viewminder' magic on the stage...
It was the cure for the blues alright.

This one feels and looks like a film shot to me ~ which is cool. The double whammy reflection in the glasses is excellent too.

Neat. This is a fine idea. I was thinking about doing some more candids like this again this year, but had some other more elaborate plan that didn't really pan out the way I intended. Also a nice self at that.
