Description


My folks stopped by my place on their way to the airport, and my dad couldn't help but observe: "Have you got enough drums?" as he stood in my living room and stared at the collection... This was taken a while ago, and isn't even the complete ensemble, it doesn't have the 2 didgeridoos for instance, but you get the idea. I admit it: I have too many interests. If I'm not playing music, or listening to music, or making rock sculptures, or costumes, or rendering space scenes, or reading an impossibly wide range of subjects, I'm probably passed out from exhaustion! Still, I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for taking a look!

This is a telling shot..my self a few years ago is described to some extent, just take out the drums and put in something else. I found I was not completing some things properly and cut back, giving more time to finish what was more valuable and also more family time. That was not easy. Driven is driven. Best wishes on the move and blessings to all.

Better too many hobbies than too few. Nice set of drums.

You can never have too many hobbies - just too little time! Great photo of an impressive set of drums.

Personally, I think this is not the number of activities in which they took refuge, which is important. Rather, the pleasure we take in what we do. Whether you're a musician and you can express your personality through them, not a problem, if for every instrument you have affection, you have the pleasure o express yourself! The life of man is far too short. For years, I obeyed the laws binding life, while keeping my own identity. This earned me a lot of trouble in 42 years of work. Today, the company did not need me, indifference to me, since I live with my digital creations, literary and musical. A small number of sincere friends and free expression in leisure activities are more important for my soul that many "friends" and few personal expression! Very beautiful photo, a neighborhood of miraculous things, provoking, laughter, dance, expressions and suffering! MAESTRO thank you! Personnellement, je trouve que ce n'est pas le nombre d'activités dans lesquelles on se réfugie, qui est important. C'est plutôt l'immense plaisir que l'on prend à ce que l'on fait. Que vous soyez musicien et que vous puissiez exprimer votre personnalité à travers eux, n'est pas un problème, si pour chaque instrument vous avez de l'affection, vous éprouvez du plaisir o vous exprimer avec ! La vie de l'être humain est beaucoup trop courte. Pendant des années, j'ai obéi aux lois contraignantes de la vie professionnelle, tout en gardant ma propre identité. Cela me valut beaucoup de soucis en 42 ans de travail. Aujourd'hui, que la société n'ai pas besoin de moi, m'indiffère totalement, puisque je vis par mes créations numériques, littéraires et musicales. Un nombre restreint d'amis sincères et une expression libre dans des activités de loisirs sont plus importants pour mon âmes que beaucoup "d'amis" et peu d'expression personnelle !!! Très belle photo, un voisinage d'objets miraculeux, provoquant, rires, danse, expressions et souffrances! Merci MAESTRO !!!

I think many of us--and I include myself--see ourselves in your photo and comments. I quite agree with most of the above comments, too. Even at my somewhat advanced age, I am still learning to cut back and develop priorities and to stick with them and to try and give my loved ones more of my time. I still have a long way to go on both--especially that important time with my family and friends.

Too many drums? No way! Too many hobbies? No way! I just had a funny thought when I looked at these. I have a friend in Prague, named Tomas (he's in my gallery, playing a similar drum, a djembe I think. Anyway I just had this image of you in the tea house Shiva in Prague, with your drums, while he had his and the two of you were improvising something...which would be interesting since he's a friend, but he and I don't really share a common language. His English is limited to only a few words, usually tea related. Anyway, this is a great image and a wonderful peek into your life...or at least your living room. This is fun.
