The Trumpet Boy



I fell in love with this trumpet player at the Rufus Wainwright concert, when he came out for the Sydney Festival in January this year. Sitting 3000 seats away, I could barely see his facial features. I was in awe of his trumpet sound and moves on stage. I was far more taken with him than Rufus! My friends said he was probably twice my age, married with children and living in New York. I hunted him down on Face Book that night and ended up forming a strong relationship with this guy, who, happened to be my age, 25. I ended up stayed with him in his apartment in Brooklyn for 2 weeks. It was the time of my life! The trees in this photo form a letter 'E', alluding to my name. I believe the stars were aligned that special night I took over 100 photos of C.J. The quality of the photographs resulted in being naturally and magically brilliant, like our encounter. Where there is a will there is a way !
