Description
venice series 10i don't remember what he was playing but it may have been "fortunate son."
homey was chillin' ... in the sun ... raising his fist and waving it to the beat ...
not all the time ...
it was pendulum-like ...
to and fro as it were.
seemed as though it made him tired ...
but the music spoke to him ...
it was either that or he was trying to gain some sympathy from the restaurant full of outside patio patrons ...
dunno.
didn't ask.
sometimes it's better not to.

the angle/tilt in this shot is perfect for the shot, and the contrast is great. you've got the focus perfect and have pulled off showing the emotion in this shot better than i've seen most people do before.
The shot is absolutely magnificent, people's love for music and things never die, do they? 
You can feel the calmness and yet the excitement just by looking at the shot.
I can connect with this shot.. definately.
And thus I'm going to give this a

thanks mate ... it just looked better with a bit of angle.

this is a great shot. Not sure how I feel about the angle. Very Descisive Moment. Very nice.

Ah, I probably would have done it on less of a 90 anglee I guess. More grounded I suppose? But not ovverly so. It depends on how the surrondings would have look if everything was more vertical/horizantal. If that makes since. But I like it this way. It still suits the image.

Beautiful image!
Two slices of life, one street artist trying to make a living (or just enjoying himself while entertaining others) and one whose life is more or less over but keeps on reminiscing better times.

Wonderful shot. You captured the old fella's emotion for the music well. I also like the tilt. . . it adds to the dimented feeling he puts out.

Fucking A, man! This I think is my favorite of the series. That fucking old guy rocking out, or trying to, and seeing the music fucking invigorate him out there all alone, showing the support of one raised fist! Jeezus! That's fucking touching and great, and the picture captures it all. I love how your shot and perspective seems to start with him and how the lines more or less move parallel with his outstretched arm!
