I was on a roll today. This is Steve Chavez. We met this afternnon at a bbq. He plays the marimba, an instrument I'd heard of but had never heard it! The marimba is a type of xylophone, and has a beautiful melodic sound. Steve started playing the drums at 18. Shortly after this he heard someone playing the marimba and he decided he wanted one! So he mentioned it to his brother who said lets go to Chiapas (In Mexico) and get you one! So they jumped into the truck headed off to Mexico found his first marimba. After that there was no looking back! He now owns 38! Steve had no problem with me taking his picture for my strangers project, infact very happy to help!
If you want to hear what the marimba sounds like, go and youtube Steve Marimba Chavez. It's a beautiful instrument.
Thank you Steve for being my #8 stranger and telling me a little of your fascinating life.
This picture is #08 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at www.100Strangers.com

We had never seen the instrument on the right before.. But then we got home, watched an episode of "Boardwalk Empire" and saw it again.
So I guess we are just uncultured.

I opened up the aperture and left the shutter open longer... interesting how the camera "sees" the light... very red. The light source was two 60 watt incandescent bulbs.
