Photographer's Note
Summer 2008 i was back in the state of Vermont in the US where i lived there for a year and walking downtown burlington, the capital city of the state, you see a lot of artists and musicians doing all kind of stuff on main shopping and restaurants street, its called church street, and that time i was there i saw this man which i never saw him before on my past trips to Vermont but i did see other people that they are still there, playing music, performing, showing art, etc. but anyway, this man he was playing like country music or something like that and i took couple shots of him but he never looked at me and suddenly he just look at me while he is playing and he gave me that big beautiful smile, i was like "wow" that is a great smile. and of course i gave him some coins.
The thing here is that when i was looking the pictures on my computer i realized that the guitar is all scratched and maybe old, like many people know many things that we have or that we own tell us about our lifes. I play the guitar and my guitar isnt scratchy like that at all, maybe because i havent been too much outside with my guitar but this mans guitar told me that hes been around many places getting money i guess or maybe doing concerts to farms or festivals, the guitar looks so much alike that man, its like they are one piece cause they belong to each-other but even that he has been around he can still give you a very beautiful smile and thats the best thing about this picture i think.
hey have a great day!

Hello Alonso,
I like this candid capture, and the smile is definitely nice. I guess it was probably a quick shot, and I do like the close crop, but it also would have been nice to get all of the guitar in the frame. Either way is nice in my opinion! :-) Nice, note, too.

Hi Alonso
You are right. This man looks totally connected to his guitar and for many years. A good catch. That smile is infectous.
Phil
