Yep, Larry, I had a quick look at that gallery, and enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
There are some interesting photos there. I think musicians' portraits
are among the best photos in the set.
My main comment is similar to the one I gave before: several photos
could benefit from a tighter crop. This is primarily for those photos that
contain some dark "faceless" audience in addition to the main "focal points"
(I remember several photos of the stage taken from far in the back).
Also, there were a few photos (jam circle or performance/competition) that
seemed to be less then perfect (soft or noisy)...
Re: quantity.
I know how it works with event photos (dance events, kids events...)
After a big event you put out a large set for the community (where people
basically find themselves and their friends). The intent is different from
when people do it on PDML. For that reason I usually post only 1 or a few
singled-out photos to the list in such cases, - those that are the most
interesting in my opinion, or those that I am curious to hear people's
opinion about (might not be the best from the set).
That's what I've been teaching in my "technical communication" courses:
The rule #1: "the audience". Before deciding anything else about your
communication, realize who the audience is going to be: everything else is
dictated by that. :-)
Curiously, - I almost didn't find any familiar faces, just a few (very
few) faces that I think I vaguely remember. I guess the community changes
rather quickly...

No worries. The album wasn't put up for the PDML, but I thought that a
few of you, such as Igor, might be amused by the set. If anyone wanted
to comment on a particular photo that catches their eye, good or bad,
that would be great. Similarly, if someone sees and ongoing trend (way
too much haze and flare from the FA 50/1.4) and wants to comment on
that, awesome. Hopefully, I'll have some more time for picking out a
couple of shots before heading back up next week to Oregon to help mom
move from the rehab facility to a more extended care unit.

I concur. If you are up against time constraints then simply restrain
yourself until you have a few minutes to select a couple of the
strongest shots. Dump-and-run is not a winning strategy. :)
Otherwise it's a bit like: hey guys, here's a large pile of random
pixels (300 million). I am under a time constraint so I didn't
assemble then into coherent images, but have a look anyway.

Larry, I'm just not gonna invest that much time to review these images.
You really need to edit the down to the best if you want constructive
comments.
YMMV. ;-)

I was at a dance workshop last weekend, here is a fairly large (115
photos) album up on flickr:

I apologize for the size, but I'm up against a bunch of time
constraints
and didn't have time to make it much smaller. It was really nice, they
contacted me like last November to ask if I could take photos. Nicole
may also post a few at some point.
