While walking through New Orleans I joined a crowd of listeners who had gathered around a group of musicians as they played on one of the characteristic streets of the French Quarter. The rhythm of their music caused some to dance, while others sat or stood in a large circle enjoying the performance. One of the members of the group had a particularly striking characteristic appearance. I took this image as he sang and clapped his hands to one of their songs. I think it conveys the soul of the moment to a greater degree than any of my other images.
