Weekly Challenge #15 - Music

It's time for the weekly challenge #15... And the theme is "Music"

I looked in the dictionary and found 8 different definitions for the word, MUSIC. Here are some you can read to see what you think of: music - Definitions from Dictionary.com


This challenge due to expire on Sun, April 29th 9:00pm (21:00) PST. That will give everyone the weekend to explore and get creative.

Weekly Challenge Rules:

1. Post ONE photo (max 800x800) as a response to THIS post.

2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be colour or B&W, your choice.

3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but I'd be interested to know the location/event/whatever being depicted.

4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.

5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.

6. The challenge runs for 7 days plus a day or so for the judge to choose the winners.

Here's a quick sample for this. This is a shot I took at a Hootie and the Blowfish concert. Shot with my K100D, Tamron 28-300 lens, 1/180 sec, 300mm (handheld), f6.3, ISO 1600. I just like this photo, even if his head is chopped off. It was the only time he jumped all concert.

You've probably all seen my "steel and old wood" shot, so I thought I'd give it a rest. Here's another part of my lovely old cello.

Here is mine. Not a fantastic piece of art, but a pretty good piece of journalism. The great Pete Seeger in a duet with his grandson, Tao Rodriquez-Seeger, lead guitarist/banjo/mandolinist of the band "The Mammals" Taken at last year's "Clearwater Hudson River Revival" festival, a festival Pete started in the early '70's that gets better and better each year.

Another lovely shot. I saw "steel and old wood" and thought it was a viola!

I just noticed that you are missing a string on the violin. Or is it a viola? I stopped taking lessons in the 8th grade.

8 stringed instruments, 1 piano (could that be a stringed one?) and one singer.

I am surprised no brass, woodwinds, drums, bongos, kazoo's, etc out there. Don't be afraid to express yourself. A stereo unit could count, as would your MP3 player. Give me some fun things.
