Susan Zohn, about 1 year ago

This is a very nice shot. Love how the man is holding the music and the notes pop. We also get to see that at any age the love of music is still inspiring. Very nice piece!

Great shot Paul, that’s the perfect hand/arm for it. Well captured.

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 year ago

Ha! You are so right Photobloke! The gentleman who was holding the sheet music was in his sixties, so the aged skin on the hand worked really well! Thanks mate! :D

Martin Derksema, about 1 year ago

Handwritten musical notes are so graphical and beautiful from themselves. And now I see them in this hand that clearly shows the man has lived through a lot: facinating. The dark tones add a lot of atmosphere. I think this picture shows love and respect for music and musicians.

micmac, about 1 year ago

marieancolie, about 1 year ago

I will say nothing more ….... Except I LOVE IT.

I read more your bio ..
I was born in 1950.. and believe it was the GREATEST period to live in !!
but I would have prefered the “siècle des Lumières” .. We are never happy with our
life … :))

Cool 1950!
I’m going to google siècle des Lumières just to find out what it means! :D

Poweriful Image! I like how you capture your art and express your own passion. Its more then just notes on a page! I myself love music, and would love it added to REDBUBBLE as well!
