Work related pics today. Didn't get time to go out shooting so you'll have to look at dirt. Dirt under the keys; this is what gets under the keys of a piano after about 1 year of regular playing. Try to imagine what get there after 10 years without a regular maintenance cleaning...

Now a failed glue joint caused by poor design and workmanship. Asian pianos are not what great old American uprights used to be...

I've entitled this one "lens money". I usually collect my spare change every night and wait before a holiday or when I need something special to break the piggy bank. There was more than I thought this year to say the least.

And a Colleague came for a visit and I had to do his portrait with a piano action in the background for my piano persons book.

Only shot 4 frames so far. I guess I'm getting cheap with digital film ;)

But here's a flower I had never seen in my life. My customer told me it was a passion flower… Sure looks sensuous. So, here is the customer and her flower.

Still today. Freshly picked from the garden:

And this little bugger I couldn't get sharper than this cause the shutter speed was too slow… I should have brought the iso up...

Marcel, that is an excellent shot of the saxophone and artist. Lighting, color and composition are all great!!! Jeff

I was away for work all week and came back with these. I don't have the time to make individual posts for every day, so here they are all at once.
