Magic Man


This week I had the good fortune to photograph an amazing performer and all around good guy who goes by the moniker Magikhana, also known as Arsene Dupin.

Last night we went out for Thai food, and as we entered the restaurant, we encountered a Jamaican guy with long dreadlocks holding a beautiful, curly-haired baby.  I started making funny sounds with my mouth, and Magikhana balanced the brim of his baseball cap on his nose.  The baby was mesmerized. The dad said "Rastafari!" and gave each of us a fist bump.
  
Magic moments like that appear out of nowhere when I least expect them.

  1. Fantastic pics...nice job John. Now a couple of tech questions... How did you get the bottom portion of pic one to have that "blurry/moving" look to it while all the rest is sharp and in focus? also, in pic one is that an wideangle 18 mm lens or what kind of lens did you use? Thanks, and keep it up!!!
