Holiday for Strings

No cover artist is listed. It looks very Jim Flora-esque, but I know it wasn't designed by him because it is listed on the Jim Flora website as an album that has mistakenly been attributed to Flora.
20/365
Part of the whole 365 thing that I really don't like is uploading photos that are the lesser of several evils. I had several ideas for The Hereios. today but not one of them worked out. It's Friday, it's been a long week and I just need to upload it and be done with it.
This was going to be "g-string" (another, never been done photo). ;-) But instead it's uh...some strings with some bokeh. The guitar is orange. Someday I'll take a better one to share. :-)
Better on black.
We're Here : String

Won't start a swinger club story now
(though - swinging strings in a quantum physical club, that could be interesting ; )
Stockholm City Museum courtyard. Karoline H. Larsen's performance installation Collective Strings has arrived to Stockholm.
This sad little fella was tugging at my heart strings on the main strip in Lisbon, Portugal.
Added to Cream of the Crop as my most favourited.

Ahhhh I do love Nature, especially when you look closer to see the things you may have missed with just a simple glance!
This is my 3rd photo in an attempt to post a new photo a day for 365 days. Tony - I made it to the third day! Let's see if I make 365!!! It's gonna be tough, but I'm determined. I will have to cheat during December 1 through December 5 though, as I won't have internet access.

So, my sister came up with this great idea today. She suggested we tie different coloured strings across my room for today's photo. So I've stuck six pushpins on the walls of my room and tied knitting strings so they crisscross the whole room. While it looked pretty darn cool, it has been an equally challenging thing to capture. I think I've picked this one out of almost 300 frames of shots..
The lines you see aren't all strings, the blurry grey ones are actually shadows of the strings :)

And now, as they say, something entirely different. I am midway into a three-year project that has me photographing classical musicians in San Jose, California - primarily the Symphony Silicon Valley and the San Jose Chamber Orchestra. Symphony Silicon Valley is the direct descendant of the San Jose Symphony, a group that has been described as the longest running symphony orchestra in the western United States. The San Jose Chamber Orchestra is a smaller group that has a reputation for exciting and high quality performances and for promoting new works by living composers.
Since many of my usual photographic subjects are inanimate objects - as we like to say, "Rocks. Trees. Water." - photographing performing artists is, in many ways, a very big change for me. This work is all about the people and, in fact, the point of the project is to tell the stories of these artists in a more complete way, showing and telling aspects of what they do that are not usually seen by the public and concert-goers. It was a bit of a stretch for me at first, walking around among performing artists and finding ways to see what they do photographically and record what they do and show who they are. However, I may have an advantage or two over some who might try to photograph such subjects. I have a lot of background in music, having taught it at the college level for many years, having been a performer myself at one time, and being married to a fine musician. There is as much music as photography in my life, and for this reason I believe that I am sensitive to aspects of the musical life that might not be apparent to other photographers who don't have this background. Related to this, I have personal friendships among many in this world, which gives me a bit of an entre that has helped a lot.
I'll likely share more of this work from time to time - from among the 2000 or more photographs that I have made so far. This photograph was made at a rehearsal of Symphony Silicon Vally in late September, 2013. Here the orchestra is preparing their performance of Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite. (Folks who know the music might even be able to figure out where they are in the work - there is a hint in the photo.) For this shot I photographed from the balcony with a long lens in order to compress the perspective of this part of the stage occupied by some of the orchestra's low string players.

I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me
