Felix...Rediscovered [Fine Art Photography Music Pictures Culture etc]

When I worked in Philadelphia in 2010, Wednesday meant, "Felix will be playing in Suburban Station today!"
---
Actually he might also be found playing in the concourse at City Hall, or on the street in the historic streets of Philly...or even in Rittenhouse Square Park.
---
Felix has a great story to tell, and I spent some hours interviewing him in the Summer of 2010; the interview turned into a story, which I will post on my blog shortly.
---
Two weeks ago, as I stood outside the entrance to City Hall while waiting for the guided tour to begin, the unmistakable sounds of Felix reached my ears. I followed, to find him already serenading my friend, Becky. This was a shot from our reunion.

The black and white layer shows here at about 85%.

Another fine B&W portrait, Michelle. I think you posted another portrait of this same gentleman a year or two back. That one stuck with me as this one will too. You can't improve this photo in any way. #10310641Jeffrey R. Bange September 05, 2012
