New York: Washington Square Park
Inspiration: I've photographed this drummer before and he remains one of the most expressive musicians I've seen in a while. And a phenomenal drummer too. He's a part of a jazz band but to be honest, he simply stole the show -- which is why I kinda forgot to photograph the other players. Oops. By the way, doesn't he kind of resemble Hugh Jackman's character, Wolverine?

His first expression is hilarious. Love the picture.
And yes to Wolverine.

Are you crouching down to take these? I really like that both his drum and face are photographed at the same level. Lovely!

As a kid, I always had a crush on the drummers in a band! They were always the cool, intense guys :-) Heading to NYC tomorrow and hope to spot these amazing musicians in the parks sometime.

I really admire your B&W work but that is a beautiful bokeh!

Haha he does look a little like Hugh. Great photo in B/W of a man in action.

What great expressions! But he just needs to turn that beard into mutton chops to truly exploit his Wolverine potential :)
