Piano Man

A "Play Me" piano sits on the concourse at Brighton station giving commuters the chance to tinkle the ivories in front of hundreds of passengers passing through the station at any given time.

Brilliant!

For the street challenge and also the song title challenge:

Brilliant!! If I caught a train to Brighton one Tuesday, could we meet up? Would love to explore with a native

He looks lost in his own thoughts - you've shown him so well. It's a nice concept to make use of unwanted pianos - this one looks nice with that fretwork. :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful b&w street shot. He is so absorbed in his work.

[Chris H]

Absolutely love this shot.

@yrhenwr @30pics4jackiesdiamond @rosie00 @jenp @henrir @amyk @ludwigsdiana @rumpelstiltskin @seattlite @jernst1779 @bigmxx @jacqbb @haskar @yaorenliu @eudora @robz @sangwann @chrisiow I love that there is a piano at the station and so many people prepared to take the time to play a tune (when iti isn't locked!). And there's a lot of talent out there. Still feeling outside my comfort zone with street photography but this chap was so absorbed I don't think he even noticed I was there. Thank you for all the kind comments and favs :)

[JackieR]

Are you at work Tuesday? It's my day off and thinking about doing a photogging day.

[David]

@4rky Some of the best candids are of people who don't notice the photographer because they are so preoccupied! You would do well to look for them.

[4rky]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond No Tuesdays off this month :( possibly in Feb but not sure which dates yet - depends on clinics booked and I don't usually find out until the week before. Will definitely be free first Tuesday in March (5th)

[4rky]

@yrhenwr Good tip! I try to be unobtrusive. I will be getting a camera soon - might not be as easy then! The mobile is so ubiquitous I don't think anyone pays much attention.

[JackieR]

@4rky fancy meeting on March 5?? I can keep date free but be cancelled nearer the time. I'll be out somewhere phototogging anyway, I could catch train to Brighton or get off anywhere on the line that's better.

[4rky]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Sounds like a plan. Might possibly get a free Tuesday in Feb but often subject to late cancellation as well. But definitely free March 5. Happy to give you the tour round Brighton if it's not too far for you to travel. But can meet somewhere midway if that is easier :)

Great street shot
