"No Flash Photography During the Concert" said the lovely lady on the stage. "Take all the pictures you want but no flash!" she elaborated. "Curses foiled again!" said I with my Canon XTi mounted on a flash bracket holding my new TTL strobe hanging from my neck.
As the sun set on Francis Field in St. Augustine and Leon Russell came out and took a seat at his keyboard I couldn't help but think that he could still pass for my brother with all that gray hair and wizened faces we'd both grown after all the years since I'd seen him last. Fortunately there was a very good spotlight shining on Leon and his keyboard. I was able to get a few decent shots with my long zoom lens and even tho I'll probly get sued and go to hell for it, I'm uploading a few here to see who notices.
More about this later but I have since paid just under $100. each for 2 tickets to see James Taylor at the St. Augustine Amphitheater and cameras of any kind were forbidden. I left mine at home yet there were many people shooting pics (probly bad) even using built in flash with their pocket digital cameras. My question is since when do Rock Stars not want to be photographed? They must not want publicity as badly as they used to.
Anyway I humbly submit the photos above for your enjoyment, hoping you remember the great Leon Russell.

Remember him? I'll be seeing him twice this week in Cali and I was at that show in St. Augustine in addition to the ones in Pensacola and Melbourne Beach.
