I love this! Her message spoke volumes to me. Be yourself and to hell with other's and their opinions.
I love all the details, textures and layers in this shot.
I passed him every time I went up or down these stairs. He just sat there waiting for someone to ask for a song. One night a lady came out of a house near by, it was raining and he was still sitting there. She told him to go home before he got sick. Our last night in Portugal, there he was sitting there on the stairs so I asked him for a song. He was so happy and played an old folk song that I recognized. The joy he felt while playing for someone comes to me every time I look at this photo. He played really well too.
