Perhaps the most old-fashion street picture I have taken in the past few years. The crowd is there with its many faces celebrating the good performance of a street music band. The man having a drink was the violinist and he was indeed quite good.
The negative has been "tortured" by time and darkroom chemicals, yet the grain and imperfections give it an oldness which goes well with B&W photography. In fact, looking at the sideburns of the man in the far left of the frame, one could have thought this was from the 1970s. A simple illusion leading to 20 years' error in estimating the date!
Taken with a Nikon F and a Nikkor 105mm 2.5 lens.
