Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.

All of my electrics save one. From left to right:
Dean Zelinsky Tagliare custom, PRS SE Santana, Chinese PRS style custom copy, PRS Tremonti, and a '96 Epiphone Black Beauty that has been blacked out.
17-01-10I needed something quick today. I have an exam tomorrow and I need to revise. So I fired up the iPhone and hipstamatic and took a photo of my old acoustic. This thing has been around the world with me twice and still holds a tune!
Manual Page Read: Page 38 - The LCD Monitor.
Images Viewed: I have added my flickr contacts to my RSS reader so now I will see all my contacts photos as and when they post them without having to actually log in to flickr.
Other Inspiration: No time! I have to revise! Hmm. I suppose having a deadline can be inspiration in itself.

I saw something like this with an electric guitar and got up and took this shot. With my acoustic. Because that's all that I have.
I think the textures of the wall came out really nice.
Hope you had a nice Tuesday. Tomorrow's Wednesday - The worst day of the week. Best of Luck.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - George Harrison
There is a story about this guitar but I think I will wait until another time to tell the tale. But I must explain that my Baby Taylor 'weeps' because I have not even begun to learn to play. At least not Yet!!!! ;-)
Poor Suzy! She's really been going through it the past few days! :)

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Year 5 of 365: Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Music on my mind… I am very passionate about music and have been for almost off of my life. Many of the things I learned about playing music I taught myself, picking up things here and there- gaining some pointers from people and watching others play. This weekend I will finally complete one of the lifetime dreams on my list, learning a song by one of the greatest guitar virtuosos. I’ve been so close for so long, but when the holidays hit I just decided that was more important than completing a song. Plus it’s nice to start the year off on a good start.
More and more when I play here lately I am reminded of why I love music so much. I can let the music swallow me whole, wrap itself around me as I play- and I am transformed. I am working on a piece by Eric Johnson, and a blues album by Joe Satriani- both brilliant in their own way.
Pictured here is my Carvin California guitar and my Fender Stratocaster- both very excellent pieces of musical machinery with very different talents. I’m sure it’s easy to tell, but I love my guitars!

LOLA
THE KINKS LYRICS
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version: Coca-Cola]
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
