Images from yesteday’s Sowebo festival in southwest Baltimore.
This bassist was really enjoying the music.
He was pretty happy too.
Artist display.
Rich,
Sorry I missed you at the festival. I did see that very pretty girl (above). Hope you had a good time.

Sorry we didn’t connect. Had a slice at Zella’s and some ice cream from the truck. I left about 2:00, starting to feel the heat. It was a good festival: bands were really good and it seemed there was more art than usual. See you sometime. Stay well.
Rich, As usual I enjoyed the posts about shooting. I also read an article on scanning negs that was good. For some reason I couldn’t view the shots of the Sowebo Fest.
Glad you enjoyed it. I don’t know why you couldn’t see the iamges. They are coming up for me and someone else commented on the images.
