The accordeonist
Uploaded: June 27, 2008
The musical voice of Argentina is the accordion or "bandoneon" as they name it. For many people accordions are attached to the nostalgic city of Buenos Aires. For others is a way of making a living, like the many children that play accordions in the hopes of receiving tips for entertaining the tourists.

Great composition and sense of place here. Child seems to be interested in the photographer. The tin gives it the aspect of poverty and compassion. #6113894Mike Clime June 27, 2008
Nice composition, lighting and color, Victor! At first I thought it was Dominick's. #6114157Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
