  Yes, I know, something a little different from me.. :]

  Taken in Jordan, slide film, Nikon F70, exposure unrecorded, scanned and converted to B&W via Photoshop.

  He’s interesting but scary…Lawrence, he’s not!!! I decided to opt out of the larger image, thanks.
  Seriously, great shot. Reminds me of Jimmy Durante!

  What a face! Bet he could tell some stories!

  That is a very interesting face,not scary at all. i would love to be able to sketch him.
  What type of musical instrument is that? what did it sound like?

  Fantastic imagery! What an expression. I see tales from long ago in his face. You’ve traveled far for adventure. Thanks much for the great photo. D

  Wow. It’s not often that a photo of a complete stranger makes you stop and wonder who he is and what he’s about. Nice capture!

  What is he holding?

  There is certainly a tale or two in those eyes…

  Claire and Chris - He was playing some sort of make-shift instrument. It had the body almost of a guitar, and was played with a bow almost like a violin.

  The sound was not beautiful.. :0]

  He had a small basket sitting next to him with with to collect money from passers-by.

  Very nice shot. I think it looks great in B&W.

  A face that could tell a thousand stories x

• Claire // May 2, 2007 at 4:54 pm

  If only you had recorded it, maybe you should make your own instrument and reenact it.

  A great picture. I was wondering what he was doing, but read in your comments. Happy Wednesday.

• Comedy Plus // May 2, 2007 at 7:51 pm

  Yes, it’s different, but it’s cool anyway. This guy looks really old. Probably been out in the sun all his life. I just love your black and white photographs. Happy WW ♥

  I think black and white is a great vehicle for potraits somehow it gives more feeling and has a whimsical quality about it. Gives the character a mystery that colour doesn’t allow. Lovely shot

  I see that picture and I see a world of experience. Look how old that man is and I wonder of what he has gone through in his life. I am sure that it is all normal for him, but would rock my world.
