Unit 1- First Contact Assignment
“Grandfather’s Piano”

The image that I am sharing today is called “Grandfather’s Piano”. I took this photo when my boyfriend I were visiting his family in Wasilla, Alaska this past summer. The whole time that we were visiting his Grandma, he would play the piano and get lost in its haunting melodies. It brought him great comfort to be sitting at the same piano that his Grandfather once sat at. His Grandfather was a gigging musician in Alaska and it was at that piano that he practiced, struggled, and created art, just like my boyfriend does now. It was such a full-circle moment.
I love how this image mixes the old with the new, like the sheet music in the same photo as the cellphone. I like that to me it feels kind of mysterious and as if I am part of a greater story. I am excited to learn how to tell a story through light, different textures, and playing around with different focal points. Finally, I am excited to see all of your beautiful photos and can’t wait to see where this semester takes us!
