Playing A Happy Tune by David Gill

This old man, his dog and organ were positioned in probably the prime spot in Paris, between Printemps and Galleries Lafayette. Loads of people were taking photos but very few gave him anything which probably explains his expression. Not too sure why the dog looked depressed though, maybe it knows no money, basic rations.

A shot that for a reason makes you think. A bit sad faces and mono makes it even more moody.
