Bagpiper.

Caught this image of a bagpiper warming up before an event I was covering last week in Ashland. I love the backlight; it makes the lines so crisp. There was no special setup, no controlled lighting, no stage direction. Just the afternoon sun and a brief moment in time captured by the camera. A very differnt kind of photography than the senior portrait sessions I've been doing lately. I don't even think he saw me making this photo. He was absorbed in tuning his pipes, focused on the sound. These are the kind of images that photojournalism is all about.
