Streetlife Serenader

"There are musicians in the subways that will make you cry, they're so good." ~ Andrew Bird, American Musician

This is the first piece of street photography were I have actually engaged with the subject before taking the picture.  I'm usually more of a snap and run kind of girl, but a conversation about my street shots on Facebook made me determined to actually talk to one of my subjects and ask for their permission first.

He was lovely, genuine and seemed really pleased someone stopped to talk, let alone take his picture.  His music and song were hauntingly beautiful.  I thanked him and made a donation.  His smile was quite infectious.
