My Favorite Images: Derek Trucks

I was going through photos I took this summer. While doing so, I ran across this image of Derek Trucks who was performing at the Newport Jazz Festival. I'm a big fan of close-up shots of hands playing instruments.  It's one of those shots that I always try to capture.  Sadly, they don't always turn out the way I envision them in my head.  This one, however, did.

My Favorite Images: Guitar Rig

This is one of those images I like "just because."  

I rock, I fix, I drink

The Pipe Organ

I like photographing music instruments.  When I see an instrument at a concert just sitting there all alone, waiting for its person to play it, I always take a photo of it.  I have several photos of guitars, keyboards, pianos and drums in my collection. Normally, I don't have occasion to photograph instruments if I'm not at a concert venue.  

I was going through my photos, re-visiting my work, re-editing and in some cases, editing images for the first time.  I'm sure I'm not alone in picking out what I deem my best at the moment, editing those and filing the rest away to be re-discovered at a later date.  It was in the mist of those filed away images that I came across this photo of a pipe organ that I photographed.  I fiddled around with it and this is the result.
