Well, that was the song that this subway musician was playing on the Harvard line. As soon as I pulled this photo up the song popped right into my head. I wonder if he is still playing underground or hopefully has a warmer gig elsewhere. Stay safe and warm out there, Boston. (Image first featured here in color)

This image is terrific in black-and-white, I think.
Thank you 🙂
Too cold to even think about being down there…brrrr
I would hope there would be some heat! I hope. Will have to ask my Boston friend.
“We skipped the light fandango . . .”
Thanks for the fun shot and the nostalgia!
You are welcome! And he really was playing that song. I was softly singing along 🙂
I’ve only been to Boston once and it was in January…snow everywhere!
Then you have to go back in the summer when it is gorgeous!
How were the acoustics down there? The converging lines make for a very interesting photo.
Thanks. Well when there wasn’t a train around they were pretty good 🙂
Love the song, love the picture. I am taken by how different the photo feels in black and white vs color. As a photographer you know this, obvi, but as a non-photographer it never struck me how different the mood of a photo could be with that difference. The color photo is so vibrant and alive…and the black and white seems much starker, serious, and a little forlorn…—or maybe I’m just thinking of the song! 😀 –Lisa
Thank you so much for your comment 🙂 Color or shades of grey can evoke so many emotions and moods which is rather cool.
I almost always prefer color photos, but this one is really striking in black and white. I love that song, and that happens to me too; a photo or a smell or a sound can make me remember the song that was playing.
Thank you. As much as colors correspond to certain emotions, b&w really seems to go a bit deeper – at least to me. Amazing the things that spark memories, huh?
Awwww. I’m all misty. “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was my prom’s theme. I wonder how long it will take to get that tune out of my head. 🙂
And now I’m trying my best to imagine what your tux looked like at your prom 🙂 If it helps any, I have two versions of the song in my head – the original and Annie Lennox’s.
Good going Teri…I love all the tonal values in this!
Thanks 🙂 It turned out better than I imagined.
