And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione
A few photos from the Jazz Dinner Dance earlier this year. I love shooting events like this in Black & White, it lends such a graphic edge. This was the second year the Music Boosters hosted the event and we had a great time at Gaelic Park. The music was really good, the kids had a great time playing and all to support the Sandburg music program.

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
