Practice

Me and my ukelele practicing for a number of future gigs.

Three good things:
1. The siege in Sydney has ended.
2. Mr Blythe the blackbird came to the door and asked for more.
3. A famous film producer came for tea.

[Pat Knowles]

Wonderful low key selfie maggiemae.......the focus on your hand & ukulele is spot on!
3# good thing sounds intriguing!

[Simply Amanda]

Neat focus, Maggiemae. I want to hear you play. You play this and piano, yes? Love the ukelele:).

[Maggiemae]

I play anything in sight, Amanda @amandal Got an irish whistle, a bamboo flute, an harmonica and of course, the fool!

[Gadaza]

Nice selfie with great focus on the guitar.

[Simply Amanda]

Good for you. I can play piano by ear a little and can sing. But no real instruments. Really want to learn guitar. I have one and a drum set. I should learn both.

[Tony]

Love the selected focus on the ukulele and the soft lighting on yourself.

[👑 AnaZad]

Great selfie. You are lucky that you know how to play instruments.

[Irene]

Lovely soft shot of you. As Anazad says you are lucky that you know how to play instruments

[Maggiemae]

@kelly2 @anazad511 Ana and Irene - I didn't say I played them well!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the mood in this picture. I'm glad the siege has ended, too!

[Sheila G]

Great selfie, nice atmosphere

[Rona]

Great selfie :)

[Anita Russell]

Sounds exciting. Love the ukulele

[Judith Greenwood]

Love your low key approach. A bit low key with number three as well - Speilberg for tea?!

[Judith Johnson]

An interesting effect on your selfie, with a bit of blur going on.

[Stephanie Swift]

Lovely selfie with great light and selective focus.

[Maggiemae]

@judithg Nope, I think TV1 would be there for tea too if that was the case!

[Maggiemae]

@busylady My life passes in a blur, Judith!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Underexposure is better Pat, than overexposure - particularly when you have very little clothes on! Not that I do!

[Gillian]

I really like the focus on your hands and ukelele. Really nice treatment.

[Julie Duncan]

You ROCK, lady! ;)

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae had to have another look then to check you out but it's ok, you are decent!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Yup! Giggle giggle!

[katy]

Oh how neat, Maggiemae!

[Jenny Ren]

Great selfie!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Love how you processed this, Maggie mae! You look super cool practicing for your gigs!

[Mickey Anderson]

love the light and focus on the Ukelele!! great selfie too

[richard saffold]

pick it maggie!

[Kerry McCarthy]

Nice shot! You are blessed with talents!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Lesley Chisholm]

You look like you're playing with such passion. I love the feeling of this shot.

[Khawbecker]

Excellent lighting and focus. Mahalo for sharing. :)

[Cathie]

Wonderful and moody shot. And I love the hint of such interesting things (future gigs, famous film producer....) in your description.

[Corinne]

We can feel the artist training !

[Yao RL]

These instrument looks so small, hard to play one string at a time. I hope you got a role from the producer.

[John]

I bet your good at it. Any You Tube offerings we could hear? :-)

[Daisy]

Great selfie, like how you have focused on the instrument.

[Joyce]

Great shot. love the way you've managed to get the focus on your hand and the centre of the ukulele. Also pleased to see you have got sufficient clothes on!!

[Maggiemae]

@congaree Thanks John, - there are some uTube videos but they are on a gig with the whole group and are rather good so I"m proud of being part of that group!

[Maggiemae]

@thistle You've been reading the above messages! There is no way I would play a ukelele in a bikini - the strings would probably break in protest!

[Dione Giorgio]

great low-key portrait, Maggiemae. You seem to be quite the artist and a musician. Love your comment on the bikini strings.

[Tremerryn]

A great selfie and being able to play the ukulele... wonder what you are playing.

[tony gig]

Lovely Selfie Maggie.

[Bev]

Nice selfie, Maggie. So glad the siege is over! It's just awful that people were killed. Who was the film producer who came for a visit?

[Margaret Obey]

Oh how I envy you. I would love to have musical talent but never got ant! Great shot

[Maggiemae]

@ceilidh Margaret, I don't have musical talent - I just like playing! I'm not very good at any of the instruments I play but what the heck!

[Maggiemae]

@prttblues Can't divulge that, I"m afraid, Bev in case all of NZ's media tries to find him and he is just travelling with his daughter.

[Maggiemae]

@tremerryn I'm just playing the chord C, Tremerryn! Goes with most songs!

[Daisy Miller]

Cool selfie. It is exciting that you had a famous film producer for tea.

[Gena Pegg]

Niiiice!!! If only we could hear it!

[Darlene]

Wonderful selfie, Magggiemae. I love the ukelele and most musical instruments.

[Richard Sayer]

Love this low-key portrait - it makes you look very mysterious!

[Jen Hudson]

Like the way your hands are poised on the ukulele and focus in them. Good low key selfie. Playing an instrument is such a great feeling

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot! I used to play guitar- how fun would it have been for two distant distant cousins to meet and play a duet. But no more guitar with the rheumatoid arthritis ruining my fingers. )o: Love the processing too- and of course the 3 good things to keep us guessing who came to visit!
