Happy Friday Everyone!

Today I was having a bit of photographer’s block, so I decided to rediscover my surroundings, starting with my turntable. My parents gave it to me for Christmas some years ago and it quickly turned into one of my most prized possessions. While I, of course, still have digital music, there is something special about the careful and meticulous nature that comes with owning records. You have to take good care of them and they are a hobby in themselves because of the care it takes to maintain and set up the record for use. The round, full tones of the sound it is able to produce make for a listening experience like nothing else. As both a musician and a lover of music, there is nothing I appreciate more than an afternoon filled with listening to my records.

One thought on “Photo of the Day: 9 October 2015

  1. Some years ago my cousin showed me the difference in sound between records and CDs by playing the same piece, same original recording, on record and then CD one after another. The difference in sound was remarkable — just as you explain here. No wonder some recording studios are going back to records (aside from the fact that it’s harder to illegally copy records)!
