“And fiddled whisper music on those strings”
“A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings”
377-80, V. What the Thunder Said
My father fiddles. It’s something he picked up a few years ago. The results are hit and miss, but we have a very photogenic violin in the house to shoot so I can’t complain. I knew I was going to take this shot eventually.
This is one of my favorite F2B shots so far. I wiggled taking it (my own fault for not grabbing the tripod), but the result wasn’t terrible. I didn’t feel like opening it up, so I put it in the scanner and came back every now and then. This scan was about two hours after the picture was shot, I believe. It’s dark now, but sits in my window with the hopes that it will become a viable image once again in a few months.
