Hey Fulvio thank you. It struck me that night that the evening was all about the joy of music and so for this moment I wanted to focus on the 'sound.'

A beauty, but it is even better in large format.

Mark Kitaoka replied 3 months ago

Large format would make the sheet music jump off the page, so I agree.

I like the handwritten music, and the concentration of the violinist. Good stuff.

Mark Kitaoka replied 3 months ago

Thank you Ursula. This violinist is from Coro Hispano, a choral and instrumental group here in San Francisco's Mission District. I have photographed their performances now for three years. This one was taken last Friday night June 27 2008 as they performed at the Presidio Officer's Club along with another musical troupe. Thanks for the comment and I too like his handwritten sheet music.
