the eloquent violin

Geoffrey J. Seitz, Violinmaker, St. Louis, Missouri.

“If you want a portrait of me, there you go, that’s me.” Seitz responding to my request to make a photographic portrait of him for a Post-Dispatch story. He referred me to the first violin he made about thirty years ago (above) from wood he found in a junkyard. For me, the grace of this photograph represents this gentleman’s personality and the beautiful art of building and repairing exquisite violins. Find him right here in St. Louis.
