National Smoke and Mirrors Day Today

Apparently every day has one or more (United States) National __________ Days associated with it. Today is National Smoke and Mirrors Day, and while I debated putting up a photo of a magician or two, I decide to put up two shots one for each part.

First Keith Barefoot of Noctural Sunshine playing with fire and smoke at a Santa Cruz party.



Then for mirrors, Jason Ricci playing at JJ's Blues. It was during his long first set that I first conceived of shooting him (and subsequent musicians) such that both the lighting and a mirror image was in the shot. Cooincidentally a patch on his left side says "Fire Starter" so he could represent both images.
