Description
for cash contributions that is.
Captured on film, an easy thirty+ years ago, on the boardwalk (actually concrete pavement) of the world famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California. Venice Beach is a hot spot for individuals - many bizarre - who gather to perform their various acting, athletic, therapeutic or musical skills to the thousands of visitors who stroll along the pavement, just mere yards from the Pacific Ocean. The piano shown above had wheels for easy transport.

I am sure it was fun to listen to. A really Nice shot, Harry. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :D BTW, ty for your kind comments to my house and the red light. Where the red light is, it is closed and with 3 layers thermo windows all the way around, so there is nice and warm in there. The one to the right is open :) Something coming up for you soon :)
Wow that's a blast from the past...nice capture. Trying to call to wish you a happy birthday, your machine is on the blink!
"for cash contributions..." I never played on the street, but I know musicians who did, and yes, those contributions paid the bills. (In club dates, you got paid by the owner after your sets were done; and sometimes you didn't get paid: Putting out a collection bowl sounded awfully attractive on those nights or early mornings...) You cropped this to perfectly frame everyone, as nearly all the heads are within your frame. And it all centers around the piano player, and you really got the collection of listeners hovered around him. Very true to life. And yet you got open space too (in the piano itself). Fine street work. Btw, a piano open like that is gonna lose its tuning very quickly---the strings stretch, loosen, you name it, and pretty soon your piano sounds like it came from an 1880s western saloon. Fine details and framing in this shot, Harry. Very true to life.
