Lynyrd Skynyrd and a special friend

This show turned out to be kind of special for me. As some of you know, The world lost bassist Ean Evans to cancer back in May, 2009. I had a nice, warm, shot of him with dramatic backlighting that I’d captured last time I shot one of their shows. It’s a nice, quiet shot that I wanted the family to have the opportunity to have. Going to the show, I was thinking of how I could get it into the band’s possession so that they could give it to Ean’s family. Imagine my surprise (and joy) later when the pleasant lady backstage with whom I was sharing idle chat turned out to be Eva Evans! After the standard “three and out” I trekked back to the car, retrieved my portfolio and was able to pull out the print and give it to her right after the show. It made my night.
