Music

Music .. I call it the sixth element of nature! Well, I do not know everything about it. Not even close to what Elvis Presley meant by saying that he doesn't know anything about music. :P I think.. all it takes is for one to listen...dissolve...disintegrate. That's what made me hook onto gig photography: the vibrance, the lights and of course MUZAK.. it's as though you carry the essence in your pics.. every expression, every word, every strum.. captured! 

Music .. "an outburst of the soul"..

 This one stays close to my heart. :)

"The hypnotic colours of sound" .. Motherjane Live at Kyra

"... I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play ..." - Ozzy Osbourne
