Photo of the Day - Uke Making
by Risa Dickens
The other day I bought a purple ukulele and Elran and I wandered through old Montreal and China town just strumming along. The ukulele is a special little thing, it makes a pluky joyful noise and the 4 nylon strings make it pretty easy to play and if you’re smallish like me it fits it your embrace quite nicely. So today’s photo of the day is dedicated to the making of the uke, I love this image of the glowing stone shape of the instrument’s body.
Photo of the day is just something we’re trying out- a collection of interesting and inspiring photos from here and there. Click here for some previous posts.
