Description I took this photo in downtown Charleston, South Carolina across the street from the old slave market. After I took the photo he looked at me and I smiled at him and he gave me the most crooked smile I've ever seen.

He wasn't that great, poor guy. He's not even holding the bow right, but I guess that's what's called "neighborhood color".

He has been in that spot for over 30 years. His story is that of trajedy death and war(literally). he just plays for the feeling not the sound. Every day he is there or at the battery. he is my hero

He was not that great lol. He was just kinda running the bow over the strings real fast and putting his finger in different spots. It wasn't cacaphonous or anything but it definitely wasn't good. I used to play viola so maybe I'm a bit harsh.
