Piece description from the artist
Edmund Gram Piano

"The piano ain't got no wrong notes."
—Thelonious Monk
Day 220 of 365
This old Edmund Gram upright piano sits in the prayer room at Lake Park Lutheran Church on the East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'm not sure if Monk ever played it, but I'm sure it has a lot of great stories to tell.
Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros – it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo.
Much of what I shoot is done spontaneously without preconceived thought or plan. I let what is around me dictate what is photographed.
And the shooting is only the first step – a jumping off point. I take the raw images and create what I see in my mind’s eye. Coaxing out textures present in the shot – sometimes adding them. Enhancing the contrast of light and dark to create the mood and emotions I felt and feel. In the end, it’s all about listening to my heart and mind and creating a visual representation of what I feel the moment the shutter is released.
I'm a native Texan currently living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my lovely wife and son.
