Artist's Comments

I grew up with Marty. A child prodigy trained in classical violin, but as a teenager he was the state bluegrass fiddle champion. We headed to Nashville once in my old truck, but got caught in a blizzard in Indiana. We stayed at a cheep hotel and kept supplied with food and liquor for a week through his fiddle playing in bars. We never got to Nashville. The last I saw Marty was in Minneapolis. He looked sick and talked excessively of Jesus and salads. He wasn't playing anymore... He died in an institution.

This is for my friend, Marty...

it is nice when a memory is honored, and it is even better if its honored with such an outstanding photograph. requiem for Marty by fotokultur is a photograph that stands out from the rest. (respectfully sent by olya) (Selected by $jark) (Featured by °jark)

I love the bare tree and the texture of the clouds and sky.

This is incredible, the lighting, the contrast, the way the tree in the foreground plays with the clouds in the background... fantastic.
