Father's Tuba

Father's Tuba

This one is out of the old box, as I don’t seem to find time to shoot new work. :)
My first attempts on nostalgic photography were not with the “painted with light technique”, but rather with one harsh light source which shone through a small hole in aluminiumfoil, creating a beam-like effect.

The series was shot with my old and trusty Pentax “Program A” on slide as it’s original purpose was a slideshow on music. If you want to get into the right mood for this, then look up the sound track of “Wild at Heart”, song nr 9. Smoke Rings.

    Thanks Deb! It is isn’t it, it was (is I think) one from my father’s collection of old instruments.
