First: Anderson/Windey

When you are a child certain things and interests hold more influence then you may think.  Why do we hold on to certain items while others are tossed to the side?  Is it your subconscious telling you something?  Ajay received this guitar, his first, when he was in the fourth grade.  He has always held onto it with the intentions of restoring it to it's original condition, but for now it just sits.  Who knows what the next few years will bring.  All we know is that he still has it and there is a reason for that.

Before the streets are filled with the sound of his guitar and the sound of money landing in his case. The street musician he get's his words of encouragement from his girlfriend who is thankful that there isn't two feet of snow at his feet in October.

Texture- Carl Farrier

Strings! That is what I was gong for the texture of the strings of a guitar. Also going for a short depth of field and over sharping technic to make the strings of the guitar pop more. Then I converted the image to black and white and put a vignette around the image so your eye goes to the strings. This was fun but hard because I wish I had a bass guitar instead of a electric guitar. What a bummer!!

Sound: Candice Swanson

The beautiful sound of guitar strings and my grandpa’s voice always made me relax and let all my troubles go for a couple of minutes. When I think of sound I remember when my grandpa was alive, singing and playing the guitar to calm my nerves before a big event or just to get me to relax and fall sleep. Since he passed away I love to go listen to others play the magical guitar.
