[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I don't know his name, he probably never even saw my face. I never got to hear what he was playing, and he probably doesn't even know that I could teach him a song or two.

It's a shame people have a tendency to act so detached.

And so I took his photo ... while I sat in the air conditioned bus while he sat out there in the ridiculously - believe me it was ridiculous - hot afternoon ... playing ... for who? There were no crowds or listeners around.

Too Much - Dave Matthews Band

I associate the song n image because well ... I think I want too much because I live in a capitalist society ... where as this guy lives in a society where the term 'too much' is - pretty much - only associated with the country's politics.

Howdy BLR! Wonderful scene. Amazing musician. Original POV. Good take.
TFS!

i feel the same way about interacting with people through the camera's viewfinder, but not getting close enough to get to know them better... to at least get their names and pass a smile...

but with that being said, i think this practice results in a feeling which becomes a part of that particular image and ends up adding more to it...

well seen biance :) you can try next time to approach the person you are taking a photo of, it will enhance your experience :)

thanks for sharing :)
