Streetcred: Nominees for Photo of the Year, 2016

That time again... I have to select the best photo of 2016. Remember the photo is judged on it's emotion, the timing, and the feeling when the photo was taken. And of course the people involved, and perhaps most important, the mood. Photo quality takes a back seat to all that.
ALL of these people and places were responsible for the success of the blog this year.

Here is 2015's winner::

Kayce Laine   &   Erin Pellnat

StreetcredMusic: Pianowomen From Outer Space. Cezara, Aziza.

They must be from Outer Space. Every once in a while I have to back myself up for all the times I write 'amazing women' on my social media, so this is one of those pieces.

....from Romania: Cezara Lucia Vladescu  

     .....video: 'Song For Dodo'

When I listen to either of these marvelous pianists, composers, musicians play, I listen over and over again. The music only sets in after several times. The visual, their stage presence and their hands capture me and the music passes like a cloud to be inhaled and enjoyed later.

It was my pleasure to attend this wonderful performance by Lara Bello
...at Saint John's Lutheran Church, NYC
   ....the poetry and letters of  Federico Garcia Lorca

Lara Bello

  ..the tribute was presented with all the dignity and elegance and musical perfection it deserved.
........Lara and guitarist, Eric Kurimski, frankly overwhelmed me.

In addition to her voice, performance art, and creativity, it was quite clear that this hero of her homeland, holds a special place in her heart...Amazing show.
