A Face in the Crowd
This is my contribution to this Week Photo Challenge: A Face in the Crowd.
This photo was taken some time ago at the Portobello street market in London.
The violinist played his instrument without finding too much attention in the people who went from one place to another looking for something to buy. I was struck by his loneliness among a crowd of people.
In this Week Photo Challenge, Erica says: “These faceless portraits, as they were, captured a sense of being just one in the crowd. Instead of seeing the unique and defining characteristics of a person’s facial expressions, via an emotive gaze or mild smirk, they became anonymized, mysterious figures with stories impossible to guess.”
I think that this photo of the violinist perfectly reflects what Erica asked in her challenge.

Your photo portrays your description perfectly. I once read that in NYC one of the great violinists (sadly I forget which one) went down into the subway to play long after he was famous and people were paying hundreds of $$ to see him in concert. In the subway people walked by him without a second glance and no one threw money in his bucket. Thought that pretty much said it all!
