Suzanne Mellard sings th Blues

It was the Nottingham Riverside Festival this weekend.

A free event run by the city council. Four stages hosting an eclectic mix of music artists and genre, a fun fair and side stalls all set by the banks of the River Trent

This is Suzanne Mellard, who saw me with my camera and posed for me as she sang a soulful jazz song.

@eyesmile thanks gena it was a good afternoon out, we took a picnic and listened to various acts on the different stages

@nicoleterheide thanks nicole

@alinz her hair was white / nlonde, her glasses dark, her coat black and white, so it was almost monochrome to begin with :) The background musicians in colour were better in mono

[Phil Howcroft]

@photographycrazy thanks bill, it is indeed :)

[Pat Knowles]

Well she has the perfect coat for black & white!

[Hazel]

I think you caught the moment here!

Hey. It is Blondie

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Makes a super, punchy monochrome, ideal for the subject.
I like the drummer in the background too, he adds to the story.

[Annie D]
