Buddy Guy at Orlando Calling 11/13/11 (Photos)
It was an honor to photograph the Blues legend Buddy Guy. He was a joy to watch perform not only because of his winsome smile, but also because of his “stankface” when he was jamming out. Stankface is the face one makes when performing in such a face that takes it to the next level by letting the nasty out. http://www.buddyguys.com/ http://www.buddyguy.net/ http://www.myspace.com/buddyguy http://www.twitter.com/therealbuddyguy

Justin’s mild-mannered stage persona and shy smile make it easy forget that he’s had a troubled past.
