My Secret Passion

My Secret Passion

Not many people know I play the trumpet, and even less know how much I actually love playing it. I recently had a friend ask me to do some shots for her son’s bedroom who is also learning the trumpet, and I jumped at the chance and knew the shots would be for my own enjoyment as much as her son’s (hopefully) enjoyment!

    This is really Good. Some nice warm tones. Really like the framing of the shot and good use of DOF!
    Nice work!

    Thanks – definitely my favourite of the 5 I have given her to choose from. Was really happy with the DOF, especially as this was done with my p&s camera!

    Trumpet… by a girl makes it even MORE awesome
    Congrats !!!!!!!

  • Kathy Parker replied 21 days ago

    LOL – I have played since I was 10 years old…. believe me, there was a lot of hard years at school being a girl trumpet player – I am only just now learning to embrace the unique things about myself – being a trumpet player is one of them! Thanks for your comments and the favouriting :))

    Thanks!! I sat here in awe when it got featured – I was dumbstruck, but in a good way – and so thankful to everyone that takes the time to comment. Won’t put the camera down just yet – I feel encouraged that I’m doing something right (sometimes anyway!), and that is GOOD!
