I have been into photography since the 60's. I started to get real "serious" when I received a Nikon F2 (still have it, and it still works), and set up my own darkroom. With time I moved from b&w to color slides, and lately to digital.
Photography to me is like love. It's the process that counts, not less than the result. Keeping a keen eye for details and capturing the feelings of the moment is not less important than technique and planning.

Tender look into a musicians moment in time. The picture brings music to the heart and a peek into a couples togetherness.

That is one big instrument. Makes me wonder what is sounds like. I love it.

99.9% of balalaikas are 10 times smaller, so do not be deluded by the size of this one. they normally use it in folk-instrument orchestras
