I took this picture at a fundraising event at Copia, in Napa, California.  Copia was a museum that was started by Julia Child and Robert Mondavi that revolved around food, wine and the arts.  Odd kind of concept but the museum was very interesting.  Unfortunately it failed and I’m not sure if it will ever reopen.

I was part of a video team at the gala and was taking stills of the party that preceded dinner.  This woman was singing with the band.  During a break, she was mingling with the crowd and I discovered her framed between the two men.  Just as I squeezed the shutter, she realized I was there, perked up, raised and eyebrow and gave me this great expression.  This has been a favorite picture of mine since that time.  Originally in color, I think the black and white version works better.
