Interesting point, Marisa. What I see here is a world in a world. He plays his music and is a world itself. Great mood. v

I stand in awe of Marisa's analysis of this image. It was not too wordy. Every word, every phrase, tells us how this image goes beyond description to function as expression for her. She is a remarkable photographic analyst, certainly among the most expressive on pbase. You are very fortunate to be able to get such insights, expressed as eloquently as this.

I perceive this picture as a metaphor. Of course we all know that we can perceive only a limited portion of the colours scale, as we can hear only a limited number of vibrations, which we recognize as sounds. All what there is before and after that portion is inexistent for us, but objectively exists.
So all is relative and this picture, besides its visual beauty and its other transversal meanings, gives me a deep input to consider the existence of all what I cannot perceive with my limited sensorial skills.
I think you really use your pictures not only as documentary evidence, but also to communicate your personal sensations, feelings and emotions and, in a way, to exorcize them.
This picture has from outside a tragic impact and a deep melancholy, but at the same time I read in it a different dimension. The man perceives probably his own “colours” and doesn’t miss ours.
I have been too wordy, but this picture has really captured me.
Thank you
Marisa

yeah, so I actually got it.
I am glad I was right.
All the colora around, which he doesn'e see, are in the notes of his music.
Great image, again, really.

Strong, striking image.

Music as colour Alem! He doesn't see all the colour around him, but maybe he doesn't need to, because the only colour he needs is in that music. I was struck by his choice of where he sat.

China blues...
I am not sure I am that good to catch it. BUT, is this about a kind of turning colours into musical notes ?
If yes, I am speechless again in front of your work and I vote.
If not, I am speechless again in front of your work and I vote.
