That's my guitar and I will play for you all day

Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 7 October 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

This is my guitar at our flat. Simple shot - but it appeals to me. Actually, my music has been seriously neglected and I have to get back to it.
Title from "Guitar Song" by Texas

@Vahid: Hi Vahid - I tried the sepia tones, but it just made the photo look old, and it didn't feel "right" to me. But I really appreciate your taking the time to comment.

@Nicholas: Hi Nicholas - well, I would, my friend - except that Am3 takes up so much time that it's just a dream at this point!

That is pretty darned neat...my son plays the guitar too, and I think he would adore this :)

Clever and well seen Abstract.
Is it steady hands or a tripod?

@grouser: The guitar was on the carpet - as were my elbows to steady the hands while I was lying on my stomach to get the angle!

This is an excellent detail shot. I like to take little detail shots of various instruments. Well done.

You've created a nice abstract Rob, when does the CD come out..?

I hope we will get to hear you play it one day Rob, did I hear CD?, AM3 influenced maybe?... we could have a challenge for the cover LOL. A lovely image here and so beautifully done in b&w, I love the slight out of focus feel to this as if the strings have just been plucked and the guitar is vibrating, well done!
