Trumpet Master
After hitting the bookstore at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, I exited to hear lively music coming from across the street. This guy, who I like to call “The Trumpet Master,” had set up shop on the corner and was drawing quite a crowd. He even had a little light that changed colors and made his face glow (dramatic lighting?). Among his repertoire was “How Deep is Your Love” by the Bee Gees and “The Way You Look Tonight.”
You captured the light on part of his face and the trumpet very well!
I would love to hear him play. I bet those tunes sounded brilliant on the trumpet. One of my daughters used to play the trumpet, I wish she still did as it is a special sound.
Lovely photograph,Roma certainly provides you with so many photographic opportunities.
I can see/hear the music coming from his trumpet to fill the composition..wonderful!
Now the Trumpet Master is playing in the street under my office, in via Cola di Rienzo. I can hear his music from my desk. Fun!!
