The man who played the violin questions

Do we perceive beauty?
No, we don't perceive beauty. This is because everyone is in such a rush that they don't even bother to waste as little as a second of their time. 
Do we stop to appreciate it?
No, we don't stop to appreciate it. This is because people have lost their ear for real beauty.
Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
No, we don't recognize talent in an unexpected context. It's hard for any talent to even be recognized with being being so busy with their own lives.
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
We are probably missing a million other things. In the piece written, a lady talks about how a homeless man had died in front of so many people. The ambulance came and everyone just went on with their lives. That's not something little. That's death.

From everything that is happening in the moment, the photographer managed to capture this. In some way, it is calming. The way the man is frozen in time. The Rule of Thirds  These photos convey the rule of thirds because the subject is in the side of the photos. They are both at the bottom left.   Lines  This is showing lines because of the American flag and the light shining in only that one spot. The light brings my attention towards the flag and the flag has lines that pull your attention towards the debris.  Balance  This photo shows balance because the people are walking the same way, and everyth...
