Photo Competition March

[Pete Thomas]

As the winner, sax panther gets to choose the theme for March

EDIT: the theme is Back in the Saddle

 

[sax panther]

Oh. I should have read the terms and conditions...

Hmm.... Now that we seem to be easing our way out of the pandemic, how about "back in the saddle" - could be photos of gigs or rehearsals that you've started up again, other non musical hobbies that you've got back into (or new ones that you got into during lockdown)...or take it literally and post a photo of your horse/bike..

Or happy to defer to someone with a better suggestion!

Ok- 'back in the saddle'. Here's the backstage area from my first post-covid gig with The Urban Voodoo Machine. A colourful band....

The Urban Voodoo Machine.

Videos - website?

 

[Jules]

@sax panther - I thought you'd be able to relate to the general level of flamboyance on display here!

 

[Jules]

Videos - website?

try this for starters (and- rather predictably- theurbanvoodoomachine.com )

Thanks @Jules . That's right up my street; if my street was a dark alley in New Orleans, lit by a failing neon sign saying 'Bourbon' and three red lamps hung outside well-worn screen doors under a pale moon.
Signed up for mailing list and would definitely come to any gigs, time and distance appropriate.

Whoops, posted before I could add a caption. I'm depping on bass clarinet for my old university wind band, 20 years after I graduated. The last time I depped with them was exactly 2 years ago on Bari sax, and that was the last gig I did before the first covid lockdown.

Back in the Saddle - setting up at our first big band gig for 2 years

I'll have to lay off the catnip, I had to enlarge that picture to find out why I was seeing a big fluffy dog to the right of the lady in grey.

That's all I can see now

Must be a blue dress/gold dress thing ...

Sorry, I took my brain off the case here and am a bit late in announcing the winner, who is @Jules .

However we didn't get many entries so maybe running this every month is a bit ambitious so we can take a break for a month or two, but when we come back Jules will pick the theme.

Thank you folks. A testimony more to what a flamboyant band I work with than my photographic skills I feel!

For something fun and quite open ended- as and when this is going to happen again I give you the title-"That can't be right". Plenty of mileage in that I reckon.....

 

[Pete Thomas]

Anyone fancy another photo competetion ?Idea for a theme or just anything?

 

[Sue]

A few theme suggestions:
Street Art
Shades of Green/Blue/Red...
Let There Be Light
Black & White
Water
Churches
Floral/Garden
Dogs
Cats
People
Urban
Rural

 

[Pete Thomas]

I think cats might be good - with or without any saxophone connection. Or else one could argue does the internet need more cat pics?

But maybe floral/garden/nature/outdoors ?

 

[Targa]

Of course the internet needs more cat pictures.
floral/garden/nature/outdoors should always include a cat in them.
