A sot of my work bench. My first experience with Pyrocat HD. I over exposed about a stop I think.

Really nice Al...very poignant too for me. A good friend of mine, who is the clarinet professor at the university I work at, just got diagnosed with serious cancer and from what it appears he might not live much longer. His last name is also Olson.

Strad...I like it! I should take one of my bench where I do instrument repair.

My cheap copy bought on a whim many years ago. Pardon the window, it shows evidence of my cats.

Thanks for the compliment, Bryan. I understand. Two years ago I lost a good friend and fellow photographer.

A friend who was an instrument repair person and who also restored the metal on several brass lenses and camera parts for me, loaned me all of these from his stock of cannibalized items from his store. He worked out of an old hotel and about ten of the old bedrooms were his warehouse of parts bodies.

Very cool! I like the rose. Almost poignant, with all the abandoned instruments.
It speaks to me though...I worked in instrument repair for 7 years. Still assist the local repair guy occasionally, a good friend of many years.
