Beautiful photograph.
Its amazing to see how much that trombone contributes to the photo..Without it the photo would have conveyed a sense of Emptiness.An End.
But the trombone transforms
it into a photo that conveys so much.. of music that still lingers in the air..of conversations(finished,unfinished and the in-betweens)that still hang in the air..of a day that has come to an end but not quite!
Thanks for the comment Nishaa. Very well put, it is the same sense I had when I took the picture.

I look at this and think of my oldest son. You wonder why? This is his very first year playing an instrument at school and he has chosen the (du-du-du-du.....) trombone.
Such a simple instrument that really takes skill to play it; without any keys or buttons for sound arrangement, the slide and the way it's blown must be perfectly combined - or it sounds like an elephant in the house :o).
I'll have to show him this photo. He'll appreciate it very much.
{oh ~ He's learned to play it with grace; sounding much less like the elephant :o)}
Heather,
I know what you mean. I also have a photo of a French Horn closeup with just the three plungers. I have never understood how beautiful music can come from a slide bar or just three plungers! It must take a lot of skill from the artist to make the music with so few controls available. If you send me an email offline at dan@medsearchprn.com, I will send you the Trombone file so you can print it out for your son.
