: Conveying the excitement people feel about music in a still image can be like describing sight to the blind. The 10 reader-elected finalists of our
music photo contest may not make you hear music, but they expertly capture a musical moment. Blair takes home the gold with his photo "The Horn Player" at left. Click through the gallery to see the contestants who were nipping at his heels.
Since we had so many great photos that we thought should've received more votes, and because we love to anger readers with our selections, we've also compiled a
Wired.com Editor's Choice Music Photo Gallery.
Our next twice-monthly photo contest is Heat. It's cold outside this winter and we need to warm our feet by your photographic fire. Check out the
contest page for more information.

My Stepfather's Piano
Submitted by Tin Man
Photographer's comment:
"I'm no photographer, I'm a musician, and this is my art. My stepfather left me this piano when he died in 1998, and I use it to compose. Its sound is not great by traditional standards, but to me it is wonderful.”
