Classical Street Music Photo

Photographer’s Note

Street musicians and street food are two of my favorite subjects. I have heard the opinion that "Jazz is America's Classical Music". I have seldom, if ever, seen a string quartet performing street music in the U.S.,so maybe this gives credence to that definition. I do believe street musicians play what the passerby wants to hear. I have seen people playing electric keyboards, and even pianos, as street instruments. If I were to choose I think I would prefer to carry a harmonica.

Hello Larry,

Hard to chose between your image and Pat's as they are both very nice. Your picture is clear and your framing is effective because it includes several musicians. FRom what I see musicians are perhaps a common sight on the streets of Brussels. Nice work larry :-)

Hi Larry,
No classical music in the US streets? I saw a trio of 15 years old schoolkids in Bangkok, dressed the same as these guys, playing Bach sonatas! Although you had no direct sunlight ( as opposed to Pat :D) colors and contrast came good, sharpness is fine too... A more frontal view could also work here. Nice

Hi Larry,
What a surprise to see a violin quartet on the street. The detail and color are good due to your excellent light management.
HLJ, Pat
