Sax In The Country

A couple of months ago I happened across a series of photos by Andreas Giesea, AKA Drachenfanger. Drachenfanger had photographed his Selmer Super Action 80 Series II alto in a variety of artsy ways. Included in this set of sax photos were a group where the horn was in country setting. These sax in the country photos all made me want to grab my camera, a few of my horns, and head out to my friend’s acreage.

However, Sue has 20 miniature donkeys and horses in her fields, so I rethought that idea rather quickly. I suspected that my horns would likely not survive their sax in the country photo shoot unscathed.

Rather than sacrifice my horns for art, I have opted to do another kind of photo shoot sometime this summer—one that won’t put my horns at risk of getting trampled under the 80 mini hooves of 20 mini equines. I will need the buy-in of the city though—since the photos would be shot in the park behind city hall—and the help of some of my friends. If we can pull if off, it should be rather interesting. Those pics could then be called, Sax in the City

That said, the original inspiration still niggles my grey matter. Drachenfanger shot some absolutely beautiful photos in his Urban or so set. With regards to his saxophone shots, this is likely my favorite. (Although it’s hard to just pick one.)
