High Strung
12.17.04

Amber has had her violin at home for some time now,
and has been encouraging me to shoot it.

Tonight, I took her up on it, as I'm tired and had nothing lined up for today.

One of my few uncropped compositions,
it took a few shots to get the strings perfectly lined up in the lower left corner,
and the bridge lined up perfectly in the opposite corner, all hand held.

Used my Sunpak 383s to bounce some light off the wall to my right.

Thanks to Amber for the loan of her violin for a little bit tonight.

Excellent composition, John! And AWESOME Amber that you've been playing 9 years! Maybe someday we should get together and have a jam session :)
