PhotoFeed Contest - Black & White Photography Round 140: Saxophone [ENG/ESP]
“Don't play the saxophone. Let it play you.”
Charlie Parker

Saxophone
Yesterday afternoon, I attended an exhibition of products and services offered by companies affiliated with the Lara State Chamber of Industry, an annual event that took place this time at a shopping center near my home.
After walking through the aisles with the various exhibitors' stands and attending a couple of technical talks, I went down from the exhibition hall to the ground floor of the shopping center, right in front of the entrance to a large supermarket, which was quite crowded, so I decided to go in.
A few steps from the entrance, in the supermarket's food court, there was a saxophonist playing an instrumental version of the classic My Way, made popular decades ago by Frank Sinatra.
During the short time I was there, the artist performed well-known songs from the universal musical repertoire, accompanied by her saxophone, a tablet with the sheet music, and a music track stored on a laptop behind her, which was operated by another person who also seemed to be responsible for mixing the sounds.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.

Saxofón
Ayer en la tarde, asistí a una exposición de productos y servicios que ofrecen las empresas afiliadas a la Cámara de Industriales del Estado Lara, un evento que se realiza anualmente, y que en esta oportunidad tuvo lugar en un centro comercial cercano a mi casa.
Luego de recorrer los pasillos con los diversos stands de los expositores y asistir a un par de charlas técnicas, bajé del recinto donde se encontraba la exhibición a la planta baja del centro comercial, justo al frente de la entrada de un extenso supermercado, el cual se encontraba bastante lleno de personas, por lo que decidí entrar.
A pocos pasos de la entrada, en el área de la feria de comidas del supermercado, se encontraba una saxofonista que estaba interpretando una versión instrumental del clásico My Way, popularizado décadas atrás en la voz de Frank Sinatra.
Durante el poco tiempo que permanecí allí, la artista interpretó conocidos temas del repertorio musical universal, acompañada de su saxo, una tablet con las partituras y de una pista musical almacenada en una laptop que estaba a sus espaldas, y que era manejado por otra persona, quien al parecer también tenía la responsabilidad de la mezcla de sonidos.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.

All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
