New York: Central Park
Inspiration: I've shot this sax player and this tunnel dozens of times - both separately and together. I cannot resist photographing either. When I hear music in the park, I follow the melody to the musician. When I see a tunnel in the park, I enter. I must become more adept at the video option on my camera. Then I could record him for you. Yet another thing to add to my list of things to do. Well, my staycation is over and I am a bit sad. I was supposed to relax but I didn't. There's so much to do in life when you aren't working all of the time.
There's something incredibly romantic about this photograph. The sax player in the light, the photographer in the dark and the girl wondering through with skirt billowing in the wind. And music resonating all around. Love it. Wish I could hear the music (even though I can totally imagine it).

Beautiful. Love the way the light plays on the roof of the tunnel. And yes please, I'd love to see some videos from you!

Poor girl, but I know what you mean.
Music is fantastic and I love the saxophon.

Amazing photo! From darkness into the light, through music! Love that idea - guided by music!
The contrast between absolute darkness and bright daylight, the detail of the old lamp, the player on the entrance of the tunnel, like some door-keeper...

Is the player/door-keeper, keeping the darkness from spreading out, or the light from going into the tunnel?
Humm!? I wonder!

@ Heather Fonseca: There is SO much to do at home and in connection with my hobbies. Wish wish I had more time to myself.

I love the framing here. And yes, would love to see a video -- the 5dmii is supposed to have great video capability! :)

Love it. Technically, I'm impressed with the highlight detail you've kept in the scene through the tunnel, while still showing the detail of the bricks.

I always feel so touched with your musician pictures. They're always really amazing, you know?
My favorites!
