"The true beauty of music is that it connects people. It carries a message, and we, the musicians, are the messengers. " ~Roy Ayers

The beautiful human featured in today's post is a messenger, one with such a big assortment of musical abilities, we weren't even able to bring all of them to the photo session! Next time, accordion, next time..

To all of you kind messenger folk out there, thank you. Thank you for lugging heavy, awkwardly shaped instruments around while your shoulders complain in mild, aching protest. Thank you for spending hours upon hours on theory and scales while the rest of the world sleeps. 
The messages written by you wonderful creatives weave their way through people's lives in so many ways - adding another level of awesome to celebrations and events, inspiring those without the motivation to work/study, helping folks with break-up blues(Gloria Gaynor, anyone?). These are really just a few of the scenarios that I can quickly think of off the top of my head, please feel free to add more in the comments! 

My personal favourite.. musicians create the chillest vibe when folks need it. Where would weekends be without music? So, here's to weekends and musicians, you two are just the best!
    











These two images below are purely experimental, and were taken after the sun had gone down and the park was nice and dark. What can I say, it's not every day I get to prance around(somewhat clumsily) in the dark throwing light from a camera flash at someone. Please bear with me, fellow togs, I'll get better at this, I promise ;)
