Formal

A formally dressed, handsome man with long silver locks plays the flute

Busker, Russian Style

Russia 2009

A man dressed in a tuxedo plays the flute in the gardens of Peterhof, one of the palaces of Peter the Great.

The color photo as it came from the camera shows the fulgent leafy trees: a background of green. Not dramatic enough for this handsome man with his long silver locks! Black and white was called for. I eliminated everything but the man and his music. Isn’t digital photography wonderful? I could have done it in the darkroom but it is much easier with my computer.
