 Jazz guitarist Jim Shannon – his website – This image is part of a new project, portraits of jazz musicians, each playing the the same tune, Body and Soul, a standard written in 1930 by  Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton and Johnny Green. Good references would be Coleman Hawkins improvised version recorded in 1939 and recordings by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn.

A client asked me to make some portraits of their staff. Simple lighting: a battery powered Elinchrom shot through a white umbrella, balanced with the window light. (Steven Goss, Principal at Blackbird Studio Architects in Dallas)

Casa Linda Theater, Dallas, Texas

The Casa Linda Theater, Dallas, Texas. Once part of the McClendon chain of indoor and drive-in movie theaters, it has been closed since 1999 and it is unlikely that it will ever show movies again.

Update 12/24/10:  The theater is now scheduled to become a grocery store.  Colorado based Natural Grocers has leased the space and is expected to open in April of 2011.
