Going into covering the
Rockin’ the River concert I knew a lot of action would take place between the banks of Trinity River. In the water at the Panther Island Pavilion, slightly west of downtown Fort Worth, I wanted to sit on the tube and float around closing in on the pictures I imagined in my head. Carrying a
Canon G11 in a waterproof case I paddled around looking for the rowdy inflatable party barges, couples fitting into one tube with the skyline behind them and the silhouetted reflections in the water of people enjoying the
Thieving Birds. I was in a foot of water at the bank after the music died down, about to jump onto dry land when I saw a young man soaking in the sun with his palms turned up and out. I knew the moment would end in seconds, so I made a frame as quickly as I possible – not even getting the camera to my face. Matter of fact, I think I still had a whole leg in the hole of the tube. It was an interesting moment of quiet solitude among rowdiness and company.
