Walking through the streets of Palma -Mallorca-, I saw a lot of streetperformers, waiting for generous people that could spare some money. One of the performers I won't forget was this man. He was just sitting there, in his suitcase, not moving at all. Most people just passed him ( [link] ).
I didn't have any money on me at that moment, so I asked one of the friends of my brother if they had some. I gave it to the man, and asked if I could take a picture of him. He didn't move, just blinked his eyes twice. I will never forget the look in his eyes. So much grief, in just two eyes. Everybody has a story, and that day I wondered what his story was. Too bad my Spanish dictionary exists out of three words.
The picture reminds me of something I once wrote (Journal Entry: Sun Jun 24, 2007, 8:29 PM).
[Weird Dreams, Vague memories]
As I sit here waiting
my eyes shed tears
weird dreams and vague memories
filling the room with fear
It's not me, just my body
reacting on emotions
I need a well to be strong
cutting through the system of pain
I am me but not so very much.
Even though I gain a bit the lost is many
connected with a spirit
I'm not touchable
Though you can reach me very well
These paper cuts will leave no mark on my soul
Only scars I gained from experience will be remembered
This is where I keep you
This is where I hide myself
I cannot fly with broken wings
I can only die with the thought I once did
Leave me between dusk and dawn
I shall find my way through
eventually
I wonder how it is to have that kind of job...and I can't even imagine how many photos there must be of him out in the world, that he'll never see or even know about...A little bit freaky..O_o
Pewh,I'm glad I'm not a clelebrity or something.. but anyways,
great shot!!

Wow, I wish I could have seen that. I always feel terrible when I walk by and have no money to give to street performers.
I really like the way you captured him and what little of his story you knew.
I like how it kind of looks like his legs just aren't there, and how even though that would be reason to give up, he's still supporting himself [the arms].
At least, that's what it looks like to me.
I love it.
