Photographer's Note
El Salvador is one of the poorest country of Central America. During my trip I noticed a lot of people begging on the street or trying to earn a bit of money in a different way. This older gentleman played an American melodies on his violin in the tourist district of La Libertad.

Hi Zbigniew. A touching image of a man whose life must be difficult and instead of finding respite in his old age he has to sit for hours and exert himself, all for a few pesos. He looks sad and tired. Just a comment on the photo- fortuitous how the violin bow and his walking stick create parallel lines. Pozdrawiam. Klaudio.

Bonjour Zbigniew,
Un très beau portrait de l'artiste à l'oeuvre. Le cadrage est parfait et on peut voir toutes les sensations qui lui passent dans la figure. J'aime beaucoup l'arrière plan,
Amicalement

Czesc Zbigniew! Przejmujacy portret. Wspaniale zdjecie. Piekna opowiesc o potedze muzyki, o sile sztuki. Kim bylibysmy, gdybysmy nie rzepolili sobie na skrzypcach, nie dmuchali w organki, nie ostrykali zdjec. Pozdrawiam!
