Steve Earl

The hardest I've ever worked for one image. Steve came on stage at the Birchmere, Alexandria, VA. dressed in a black T-Shirt, wearing a black beard, black sun glasses and long black hair. To complicate things further, the stage was dimly lit. Out of 6 rolls of film, I only have this one image that really works. I personally like it. It seems to capture Steves' dark, intricate nature that is so much a part of his music.
