Life at the speed of random

Scouting for a warehouse scene on the south side of Seattle a week ago, I found more than a place to shoot. I found a subject too. Brian was out on a break playing his bag pipes. As random as it was I had to stop and ask the photographers question. "Can I take your picture"? More interesting was that he is not just playing around, he was good, really good. As he played I walked around the scene shooting using the sun as the main light and filled with flash on most of the images.
Here is just two of the pics from that shoot. Thanks So much for the chance to shoot this Brian.

Yes there is a lesson there for everybody. "If you are ever going to be good, you have to practice".
The band he plays with can be found here. (www.cgpb.org) Clan Gordon Pipe Band.
