Tennis Racquet Strings for Macro Mondays. Luxilon Big Banger on the mains, Gamma TNT2 on the crosses. Babolat Pure Strike 16x19.
a hand shaped by years, by chords pressed and strings plucked. the skin tells stories, rough like old roads, steady like the rhythm of a familiar song. the guitar hums beneath it, wood and wire worn with life. nothing fancy here. just music. just time. seen in berlin mitte, where echoes live in quiet hands.

Southern Alberta is giving us a healthy reprieve on weather, it didn't take long to negotiate another meeting of these windy spaces and echoing sentiments. Thanksgiving weekend, a place seemingly half way divided (Saskatchewan and Alberta demarcation line) where six months previous ponds from Spring snow melt had surrounded the house perimeter.
I've said it before, you can't just bottle this space onto a memory card, the representation in your mind is always a million times larger and immediately tangible. That's before you consider the dynamic range demanded by your pupils.
Suddenly a gust of wind, I believe I heard the door creak, laughter inside. I know these winds of Autumnal change are telling tales, I just need to decide which seasonal voice to listen to. I have no strings attached, excited by the variety each month brings.

Lights dangle from intersecting cords forming lines and angles and patterns of interest. The photograph is well anchored by the post set on the third of the frame. Clouds mix with post processing textures to create depth and more interest. Color is removed for simplicity.

Some of the steel strings (there are 29 in total!) and corresponding adjusting pegs of my monochord instrument, that I built this summer.
They are attached to pegs on the sound board, on the upper part of the instrument, which allows to adjust their tension. After going round a smooth 90° bend, they rest on a brass rod that transmits their vibrations to the wooden resonance body.
On a monochord, all the strings are tuned to the same tone. In my case, the last six are made of brass and are tuned an octave lower.
