Re: variation of F#

The thing I like most about this is the way you've managed to capture the tension and pressure in the hand and face - the entire body actually. It shows, for me, the sort of energy and power required to hold down a chord along with the concentration of the musician.

Also an excellent composition holding the attention exactly where it should be imho.

Very evocative. I can almost feel the sore skin in those fingers and the ache in the hand muscles.

I love this picture and keep coming back to it. I'd love to hear him playing.

It would make a superb CD cover.

Wow - thanks for that!! I'm in awe! How did you manage to get such a close and intimate photo - you lucky (and talented) so-and so. I'll watch out for him I've also bookmarked the website and another on Youtube.

I studied classical guitar myself many moons ago but stopped about 40 years ago now ..... because I was useless at it anyway and my tutor dumped me, firmly but politely of course.

he was performing at the jefferson memorial as one of the many talents scheduled during the month of april (cherry blossom festival). i walked up to the stage and took 20 - 30 shots then returned to my seat. it wasn't until i returned home that i realized who i was shooting.

I've just been going through your website looking to see if it's there - haven't found it there though.

Got him, thanks.

You managed to get some excellent sequences too - so it's possible to follow his movements as you move through the images. Superb!
