Digital BW, The Print

I've always loved that quote and its a beautiful metaphor. Did you
know he was a concert pianist in San Franciso first. I believe it was
Georgia Okeefe who said "why would you want to be a photographer when
you can play like that".

As to the music,..often with my clients I have to transpose or rewrite
the score before I can even attempt to perform it decently.
