Fiddler in the Cajun Band

Louisiana

There is music sound attached to this photo if you have volume.

Today must be my day for noticing people's hands. I was watching the musicians' hands as they played at the German Coast Farmers Market. Then, as I went around to the various stalls I looked at the hands of the farmers who toil to grow the produce for the market.






The Hand of a Farmer
And, those are Creole tomatoes, a tomato grown in the alluvial soil of the Mississippi and available for only a few weeks each spring.

Super capture! I also love the farmer's hands. They show a lot of hard work. I'd love to taste those tomatoes!

Neal took the words right out of my mouth, honest!
This is a really good photo, Coleen.

I like how the lines of the instruments form a triangular support for his face. This is so nicely balanced.

He almost looks like the "Fiddler on the Roof". I loved the local music during my stay in Lafayette. Fun people.This is really a sharp and clear image.

I like both of these shots Coleen. Love the composition of the vegetable... the hand really adds. And the fiddle and bass players... I can almost hear that Cajun music.... wish I were there.
