As most of you are painfully aware, my profession is music. I'm a violinist, conductor, teacher, theorist and above all a composer. All of my friends know that my outlets are cameras, rifles and fishing rods. It is the music world, however, that most imbues my soul, and I love musicians, be they professionals, amateurs or students. I think I have an empathy with musicians that makes it easy to photograph them, with or without instrument. I hope that you enjoy my efforts in this area.
