Don't walk on by. by judithg

Don't walk on by.

I've photographed this chap a few times but he's never made the cut - and then I had a B&W moment and now I like him. He's a pretty darn good fiddler and was doing a bit of Stephane Grappelli at this point. He gets totally engrossed and then looks up and grins at everybody. I like the movement in his arm here - you can just about tell how fast he was playing. Mostly there's a steady stream of people walking by - it's a shame not many people stop to pay proper attention.
Probably best large I think.
Great capture & nice in b&w

His stance suggests a good fiddler! And he looks good in b&w.

You have captured the feel of his movement beautifully by photoing him with his arm up & head down! I see you can buy his CD too , a very enterprising young man! Suits the black & white you have posted it in ! Looks like he's standing in front of an upmarket shop too !!
