The Street Musician, Otherwise Known as My Son

Rock star, artist, potter, painter, luthier, street musician...the dreams of teenagers are so hopeful. Today's One Night Stand challenge was "street," so this is my son, Tommy, playing his guitar on Main Street in Orleans.
Very nice shot. I should do this I think. I feel like I'm stagnating at the moment.

A great moment you captured.

Bring him to LA & I am sure we can find a street with more listeners and donations! Perfect for the ONS challenge LH! :-)

lovely photo! (and did anyone throw money into the guitar case?)

@northy No one even walked by! We live in a tourist area that is extremely crowded in the summer, but barren in the off season. It's the best of both worlds, and I kind of like that.

I love it! At least he can practice in private out there! ;o) I wish I could here him play! Great street shot, Laurie!

Great shot, I love to hear a good busker. Great that your son has so many talents

What a wonderful shot! It's funny because I was just thinking how common it is to see someone sitting out playing music on the street here, but how relatively unusual it is back home.

Nice capture. Got to start somewhere.

Wonderful shot, Laurie - does he play outside during the summer, too?
May 1st, 2012  
He's a love! And you picked such a great spot. It says a lot. Pedistrians, bikes, brick sidewalks, no people in the winter. I'd say a winner all around! Love you too!

Wait - are you in New Orleans right now?? jealous!!
May 1st, 2012  
Nice candid street shot. :)
May 1st, 2012  
I really love this shot. I'd throw some money in his guitar case!

@pwallis I wish I was in New Orleans, Paula! No, this is Orleans, Massachusetts, one town over from where I live.

Great take for the theme too. Put it up on his wall.

so very kind of your son to be your subject:)
my husband loves to play guitar too. does your son play acoustic only?
May 2nd, 2012  
@paulaag He plays electric guitar too. In fact he is building his own electric guitar at school. It should be finished in the next few weeks. He's been working on it all year.

@lauriehiggins , ohhhh, so cool! my brother and nephew built a guitar for my nephew and he is so very proud of it! it sounds great too! i need to get a picture so you can see and I'd like to see your son's when it is complete!
May 2nd, 2012  
@paulaag I will post a photo as soon as he brings it home! I can't wait to see your nephew's guitar.

great shot!

@christiehicks I'd throw money in his guitar case, too. ;) Tommy is such a nice person, and I can't wait to see some of his artwork this summer. Great street shot for your project. It's hard to believe I used to work diagonally across the street from this shop on Main St, Orleans, MA.
