I found this piano on trash day in Jersey City. It was a sadly beautiful site.

Awesome shot. Very, very nice; I love the angle and the feeling of... loneliness I get from it.

though it may have been a lonely sight on trash day - I can't help but imagine all the hands which have touched these keys...and all the lives which these keys have touched.


Thanks so much for your words.

Don't ever be hesitant about picking up lessons again...I worked at a music store for awhile and people were always amazing themselves with how much they retained from past childhood lessons.

Such a beautiful instrument!


thank you for your words.

I agree. Tragic but beautiful, like a flaming mime.

The graininess of the film (3200iso? goodnight, that's fast!) really enhances the dirty look of the keys. Well done!
