If you can only learn to look within,

If you can only learn to dive deep within yourself

and identify with the Self,

merge with the Self,

I cannot begin to tell you

the joy you would feel.

There is nowhereyou have to go,

There is no one you really have to meet

There is no thing you have to do,

you simply have to be yourself,

You are the joy of the world.

I wrapped a string around my thumb

To remind me of that singer at the station

By pretending that we liked his guitar the way he sung

Just to put off taking trains to different places

Remember lying naked on the porch

Making fun of Californians in the winter

I'm still waiting to wake, to tie your hair up on its form

So I tie another string around my little finger

Now I'm losing the feeling

All my fingers turning numb, pins and needles in my thumb

'Cause I'm losing the feeling

Now my hands are turning blue

But this knots are tying me

To the feeling of you

I told you when we woke up in my bed

This is just a passing thing, no strings attached

We were riding 'till we parted with our strings in a knot

The harder that we pulled, the tighter that it got

I find it impossible to tell you what my favourite instrument is, The moment I say Cello, I think, oh no, pain, oh no violin, nooo, LOL

But I love all of the above.

Cello, guitar, mandolin, bass, aaahhh, I feel spoiled!

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

Captured in: Old Bethpage, NY.

Earlier this year I had a chance to attend a musical themed macro photography event in Old Bethpage, NY, which offered attendees the opportunity to work on their macro photography skills. There were a range of subjects available, ranging from small string to wind instruments.

Looking back on the shots from that day, I found this image of a violin that I thought would be fun to process. I decided it might even be interesting to take the processing in a more creative direction... The final result was something a bit unusual (well, at least for me), but hopefully you'll like it!

An oldie that I captured on my trip to London back in April last year. I had to crop in heavily as we were on the other side of the river and I didnt have my 70-200mm with me.

These are the bridge pins of a piano. "The bridge plays a crucial role in the sound of the piano. It is the job of the bridge to connect the source of the sound (the strings) to the amplifier of the sound (the soundboard)." (excerpt from the link below) The pins hold the strings in place and spaced correctly.

This photo encompasses about 2 1/2 inches of the bridge.

Happy Macro Monday!

In the golden hush of a Sunday morning, Ben found his rhythm. Not in words, but in the quiet language of strings.

Shirtless, sunlit, and lost in the melody only he could hear, each chord was a memory, each note a whispered promise.

The world outside waited, but in this moment, all that mattered was the song he hadn’t yet finished… and the peace he found in playing it.
