In my previous life I spent years in the music biz in L.A., so if a friend of mine rolls through town, there's a good chance I'll get to see the  show. In this case Kim Bullard, Elton's keyboard player, comp'd me the tickets. Thanks, Kim!

    This is beautifully captured. I love the meditative look on his face, and the instrument he is playing is very interesting, it looks somewhat like a cello. His clothing and hat are also beautiful and then there is the beautiful landscape behind him, it's all so very interesting. I love your photographs, they're wonderful!!!
