Chicago Strings

52Frames - Week 38 - Music

My intent this week was to photograph a record store or music store.  Jeff Yang, owner of Chicago Strings in Evanston, IL was very accommodating and graced me with a short concert & photo ops. Check him out at Chicago Strings.

This is a composite of two photos; the musician and the storefront.

Sweet Sounds

52Frames - Week 12 - Music

Although not a performance venue, Bill Hoffmann graced me with some sweet sounds from a violin at his music shop of 25+ years. I’ve passed this shop hundreds of times over the years and never knew it existed.
