Denis Jiron, a conservatory-trained classical and jazz trombonist, poses with his most "indispensable objects": his first and favorite car, a 1972 Datsun Convertible,  and his personal collection of 8 trombones of different types and ages spanning from 1932 to present. He is posing in the front yard of his family's home in Bloomington, California, on April 15, 2009. Photo by Jen Klewitz
