Abandoned Violinist
Uploaded: November 29, 2004
A sad man looking up in desperation to fill his emptiness-- and his empty jar with coins -- for a song and perhaps a few photos. Rome near the Pantheon, aperture 5/6, shutter 1/30, lens 43.0mm, ISO 100, 1:30 pm.

This is great! It looks like Norman Rockwell's rendition of Ed Bradley from "60 minutes". A cool shot! #944921RICKY RIDDLE November 29, 2004

I was going to say it looks like a Rockwell, but I got beat to it. Wow nice, Bless his heart, was he really dressed like that? One of a kind #945136Diane Epstein November 30, 2004
Dear Stan, Jason, Rick and John,Looks like this ol' guy has touched a few of you men. It's nice to know there are tender souls out there noticing a forgotten man, like this violinist. I swear I did not PS in his tie, or anything for that matter, he is just as you see him, transported from another dimension. HIs eyes were so sad it was hard to leave him sitting on the ground with just a few coins. #946143
