A little Jazz after baseball

Met this street performer as I was leaving the Nationals Stadium on Friday night. I’m a desperate lover of jazz music and though I tend more towards sax and piano jazz, when he broke out some Miles Davis Kind of Blue, I had to slip him some cash. I thought that I would snap a few photos as well.

PS If you are doing street photography and you want to take a picture of a street performer. You owe them the respect of giving them some cash for the ability to snap their photo. They are not out there for the sheer fun of it like the rest of the people are. Also If you’re going to be all up in someone’s grill to get the shot you want, please ask their permission. I shot this photo at 300 mm so that I didn’t have to disturb him. If you see him at the next Nats game stop and give a listen. He’s pretty good.
