Crystal

 Crystal is a colleague and friend of mine. She's also a talented musician-so we met to get some promotional photos. We wanted the bassoon to be a part of the image, but not to dominate the portrait (which it could easily do considering it is about the size of small human being.)

I love this one with the lip ring and the coy glance. Very Crystal. She told me that she was known in musical circles as "the bassoonist with the lip ring." Gotta' say, I like the idea of a classical musician with an edge.
