INSTRUMENTS
Musical Instruments were an obvious subject matter choice, as they were almost always within reach or available. I found them both visually interesting as well as challenging to photograph. The process of shooting was ironically, the quicker of the two phases, as montaging the pieces together took up to a week and sometimes even more. I shot the two pianos on Rachel Street at Montreal Piano Repair – they were very gracious and accommodating.
I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.
