Soul

Absolutely lovely

Thanks Eleni and thank you too Marie. Great that you like it so much :)) I have been meaning to get back to this pianola since I saw it months ago – today I just happened to be walking past…

cool shot Robert.

Thsi is quite magical

Thanks Marco and hi marijkasworld

Nice shot Robert – sort of like an abandoned house, once full of life (music in this case).

And it was worth it! Magnificent shot. it would look great in Sepia too!

Cheers Christina and Charlotte – this is fast becoming one of my faves.)

Lost notes.. Forgotten days… history of souls.. well done Robert..

Amazing image

Cheers guys. I can feel a return visit and shoot coming on :)

An extraordinary photograph. I wonder who has played this piano in the many years past?

Great framing and angle…

i adore this piece. ive always wanted to learn to play, how imspirational:)

Hi, thanks for dropping in and commenting. If anyone out there has some Photoshop passion and skills, I’d love to see what could happen if some ‘magic’ was mixed in here – marijkasworld highlighted how magical it was and i’ve looking at it quite differently since :) Cheers.

Stunning work!

one word: art

It’s almost brought me to tears…

beautiful shot.

excellent

fascinating work. Really well done :-)

nice shot

great work. love the depth of field

Just wonderful!

That poor piano. How could anyone let such a beautiful instrument go to such ruin? Still a beautiful shot. Well Done

This is an extraordinary piece. Viewing the piano as a conduit to express your interpretation of the soul is a brilliant concept. The image of the hand touching the keys is a beautiful metaphor. The aging piano enhances the symbol of an old soul that still is very much alive paired with delicate and sensitive hands. Fantastic photograph with great depth of meaning.

A great shot. Your words are as moving as the image.

wow, so so beautiful! ;-)

I want to call this “Poema”. (That’s just me.) I think this is how the grace of God works. God plays His music through us, and broken instruments are all he chooses to work through, as a rule. We are his art, his workmanship.
Once I had an upright piano salvaged from a basement with all the accumulation of brokenness and ugliness that a basement piano can bring. Keys were sometimes broken and notes out of tune, and the appearance was bad. A friend came over, a recently retired conductor of a New York opera company. He sat down and played it, and damn, it sounded good. Who would have known?

Robert this is fantastic, I love it!

Never saw a piano in such a state… it hits a chord… very special

nice image…definitely an excellent photo!
