silhouette

I've been shooting a lot lately. Mostly black and white. A recent project in my block and white film class has led me to documenting silhouettes in Tucson. Inspired by Chris Burkard, a photographer based out of Central California, I have noticed that silhouettes provide that timeless quality that brings the viewer closer to the image.
The photo above is one of many photos I am presenting in my final project. While I was riding my bike on Monday around downtown, I heard a faint violin sound echoing through the underpass. I thought it was a sound system that Tucson had just installed under the bridge. Coming from Orange County, I am very well acquainted with unnecessary things like that. But it wasn't. As I passed I saw a small violin player grinding away. It was really great to listen to. I sat there for about 2 songs of his and tipped the man 2 dollars. More musicians should play on the street once in a while.
On Monday I'll be seeing Yann Tiersen. It's been long overdue. I have been listening to this guy's stuff for about 7 years now and he has yet to ever, may once, play in the United States. Thanks to Coachella, he'll be stopping by in Tucson for a night. I also really enjoy the photo in the youtube video.
