street musician

I came across this man playing his accordion very slowly and softly at the end of a really busy street in downtown Minneapolis. He was all by himself with no one around and seemed almost kind of lonely. I was immediately drawn to him and walked right up to him and asked if I could take his photo, upon which he agreed. There was just something about this guy, he seemed to be the real article and I am glad I was able to capture him in this special moment. This could be categorized as both a ‘portrait’ and ‘movement’ since he was indeed moving and playing the accordion very slowly.

    Like this shotand i think you did a good job by chosing this composition. Like the look on his face, must be very chill to listen to his music.

    I agree with Ruud, perfect shot for the Portrait theme! And again, don’t stop writing these detailed descriptions, I would like to see more people doing that as extensive as you are!
