It saddens me to forward the news that our good friend and fellow photographer, Matt Quinn, has passed.
As some of you may know, he had been battling cancer for a while and was on his way to recovery.
Please take a moment to remember him in your prayers.

HiAll While Puccini was seducing me on headphones, It took a whole opera to work out the details of this idea from newly shot images. I hope all of you will give it a thought, and enjoy. Thanks for looking. RBorud

Wasn't Madama Butterfly by any chance? The instrument looks to be a shinobue transverse bamboo flute (I can hear it in my head)...

Your picture is a marvelous work of art combining so many things Japanese. Very, very well done! :thumbup:

Love the processing treatment you have applied here. It's one thats not seen very often.

As usual, I'm not sure what you've done here, but it is definitely interesting and attention-grabbling. It seems like a flower arrangement set in front of a painting of a flute player, but I'm pretty sure that's not exactly what it is. The magic is in the mystery.
