Saxophone Whispers of Independence (Weekend Street/Reflections # 232)


Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

On the bustling streets of Philadelphia, a blind man sat playing the Star-Spangled Banner, his saxophone gleaming under the July sun. His fingers danced with memory, not sight, each note rising over the sounds of passing cars. The world passed by, indifferent, but I lingered with nostalgia tugging at my heart, lost in the melody’s promise of freedom.


                                     Have a great weekend!

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."
