BASS PLAYER
Photography: Black and White Photography on Archival Paper This photographic piece was taken at the annual Jazz Festival in Den Haag (Holland) Limited Edition: 12 of 150 Height 36" x Width 24" Year Produced: 1995 Inventory ID EG_0001 Status: All Galleries Price: $720.00 Narrative: Photo from Den Haag (Holland) - I was sent to cover this venue. I could not have been luckier or more excited. I love Jazz, it is my music of choice. Well my favorite instrument in the jazz genre is the Bass and then the Trumpet. So I really wanted to pay tribute to this bass player with my camera. I thought just manipulate the camera to focus only on the man and his instrument and craft. The picture was just as I imagined it. Strong and bold like the notes of the bass. The only thing missing in this picture is the music.  Label
