Great gallery of my favorite artist! I've seen B.B. In concert many times and had the privilege of meeting him in 1991.

MARK...HAPPY GREETINGS FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - U.S.A. What a stunning black & white photo gallery of "King of the Blues" Mr. B.B. King. Great photos. I saw B.B. King at the Beverly-Wilshire Hotel @ Los Angeles, CA., in the mid-70s. AWESOME! He rocked the house down with his genius moments on the guitar and singing voice. CONGRATULATIONS. Tour my Abstract Art Galley & post your comments; www.pbase.com/lille_mcghee THANKS / LILLE

Top class photography Mark. A truly wonderful gallery. It wouldn't look quite the same in colour. -v.

This is absolute excellence.

Ty A couple of things. BB was in a spotlight, I also pushed the Tri-x 1 stop (800ISO), pushing makes for more contrast-meter reading was taken selective area (12% i think Canon F1) from his jacket.

great gallery of BB, lucky you got the chance to shoot this one! Very nice job.

Mark, these shots of BB are fantastic and made much punchier by the use of Black and White. Image bb1105 is a quintessential "bb" shot. A fantastic series!

Amazing blues images! Film really has something here. You were wide awake with the shutter release as well. You caught some of the best note-tweak facial expressions I've seen. Great set of eight. g

Mark Smith		06-Nov-2006 13:29
Thanks for your kind words everyone. Cedric : these were shot on a Canon F1n with a 50mm standard on Tri-x Pushed to 800 asa (now ISO)

Cedric Sims		05-Nov-2006 16:40
