through my broken guitar

So here’s the story……….. Before immersing myself in photography I was immersed in music. I had a $1200 guitar handmade guitar, that I loved. I recorded a record with it and went on tour with it. A few years later the most expensive/beautiful item I ever bought had gotten banged around too much and was declared “broken beyond repair”

My goal…….to make beauty out of something broken

The plan….Bring my guitar to Puerto Rico and throw it around nature and the ocean

I began throwing it into turquoise waters and photographing it floating and then being pounded by waves. After a day or two on the beach, the back of the guitar was cracked and falling apart. I took off the back and photographed most of the trip through the hole in the guitar. It began with strings and was soon just the front shell of a guitar.
