[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture recently for the latest scav hunt. It show a blind street musician playing in Silom Road, the fashionable street in which I live. I tried to get the picture from his level. Down there, he becomes invisible. The legs of the wealthy and fashionable shoppers sweep by him, but nobody spares him a glance as they rush by in their busy lives.

Daring icture, Kevin, with a very original POV. I think it's a great success, a worthy gambit. Not to mention a owerful point to be made.
Best,
Francis

Hi kevin, a full-on picture to convey your point. Everyone is just too busy to SEE. Good POV, it creates an empathy with the man.
Reminds me a little of my young girl in the market in Yangon with all the passing legs.

Western youth and a blind local... cultural gap, social gap and some more of them...
Your picture conveys these barriers between humans
