Another week another challenge. Another very subjective challenge. This can be good. We can find many different meanings for a theme. So i’ll start this challenge with food for thought. What kinds of hopes and dreams does this man have? And what were his childhood hopes? Can you tell if he achieved his dreams and got what he hoped to get? Don’t answer too fast. Maybe he did. Maybe playing in a Subway in New York is more than he imagined someday. In other hand maybe he didn’t. Maybe this is just where he ended up and those eyes are as empty as they look. Who knows? Maybe if i asked him at the time of the shot i could tell you guys now….
Great picture!
I took quick glance at this picture and then was drawn back in. I like how the rest of the people are waiting for the train while muscian looks like he is waiting for his big break.
Thank you! I hope he got any kind of break… 🙂
His eyes look as if he is struggling to hope.
TRue…
Great entry for this week topic my friend 🙂
Thank you jake!!! 🙂
Maybe he’s just hoping to make enough money for his next meal……
Maybe… i hope he is hoping for more…
i love the expression on his face
Me too… So hard to figure out…
gorgeous shot!
Did you read about the virtuoso violinist who took some time off in NYC to play in the subway? NO ONE stopped to hear him. No one.
I would imagine he went back to the concert hall with a sense of relief for himself and concern for the future!
Peace, Jen
Thank you so much!!! Yes… i heard about that… unless we pay big bucks it looks like we don’t give much attention… 🙂
Excellent choice!
Thank you Dear!!! 🙂
I think he looks like he doesn’t feel too good. I think he is hoping for enough money to pay a doctor. 😉
Wow Kat!!! lol… I hope it’s not that bad!!! I saw him siting there playing for a while. He was not sick. At least physically…
Some intriguing thoughts, sir…
and a spectacular photo as well, of course!
🙂
Thank you, Sir. It’s really quite complicated to put our selves into that man’s position. Kinda scary but i didn’t find a way of not doing it. Those eyes can belong to anyone depending on the outcome of things. Anyway… i think he is something to think about… 🙂
I love “street” photography.
Me too!!! 🙂

Maybe, hopefully, the look in his eyes is concentration. Imagine how hard it would be to play in such a small in your face kind of setting. I hope he makes plenty of money.
Me too!!! He surely deserves it… I don’t know it you know the sound of that instrument…but i can tell you it’s so sad…
Great shot!
Thank you so much!!
