Jerome Austrie - musician extraodinaire!

I had the pleasure (finally after several years of talking about it) of photographing our good family friend, Jerome Austrie, the other day for his new website, in development. He is a musician with whom my husband has known and worked since they were teenagers!!! They met in an airport in New England and just started talking music.

Jerome hails from beautiful Dominica in the Carribbean but has lived in the US for most of his life. He is a gifted musician focusing on gospel and jazz and some reggae. But can sing just about anything. On our shoot, he sang a few times and the people passing us stopped and were blown away. I wish I could post some audio!

But here are some fun shots -- I tried to capture a variety of images utilizing the cool, urban feel of what was around us to the natural setting along the Potomac River.
