Description My red violin, Howl. In the background are music sheets of Hikaru Utada's "First Love".

This is also an old work, took it during my Concept Photography days. This was the first time I used that type of camera, I don't even remember what it's called. But it was big and bulky and when you peek in the viewfinder, the image is upside down. I used a different film for this, too. The result were positives instead of negatives and I lost them! So stupid. I just hope they're somewhere around the house as I'm sure I didn't leave anything when I left my old condo unit.

when I asked some people who knew how to play the violin, they said I should have started on an early age and they went on saying that I won't be able to play it right. It ruined my ambition and stopped me from pursuing it.

nah, don't believe them. when i was in an ensemble, lots of our other musicians started playing the violin just then (most of them were really pianists or something else. this was in college). they're not as good as those who started early of course since they've had years of training, but they were pretty good on their own. you know how the cliche goes--learning has no age requirement. ^_- even kids who have short fingers and shorter reach can be piano geniuses.

Really nice. I love it. I think you used a hasselblad. If you want, when I get my old CAM cleaned we can take photos. Its a Bronica Zenza, not a hasselblad but pretty much the same, I think.

Really nice pic.

i doubt it's a hasselblad; i don't think the school can afford that haha. it's a pricey brand anyhow. yang yung cam na naka anchor dun sa bulky thingamajig/crane dun sa blue room dati.

That's prolly the twin-lens reflex camera they're on a distinct level of coolness... ^^ Mamiya and Yashica are the more common types I see, although the most famous I believe would be the ever-so-super-priced Hasselblad

This is a great photo! I am a music education major, so I appreciate music to the fullest extent possible.

An irony between us is that I am playing a piano piece entitled "First Loss."

Thank you!

(Our songs may be more or less the same, since First Love is actually kinda sad. I guess it can be called First Loss, too!)
