About Most people don't know who he is. But that guy enriches the streets with his singing. He sings opera in summers in the streets of the old town of Lucerne - he does it not for money, but because... he doesn't simply sing. He *lives* his music. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be able to get a job as a singer and so he has to go after his passion this way.

I didn't want to get his face as much, or to put him in some kind of too special composition, as I wanted to get his hands right. Look at them and tell me that he doesn't mean with all his heart what he is doing.

So, should it happen that you are in Lucerne in summer, walking in the streets of the old town and suddenly a pure, mature, strong voice fills the air, then that's him.

Dedicated to that unknown singer.

Thanks a lot for your comment, Dave! I am rather surprised, since you say exactly what my girlfriend also said about his "loneliness", while I only see that he is devoted, really diving into his music, but not really alone.

But from the purely physical point of you, you are right. The people will hear him, since his voice covers almost the whole old city, but he remains almost completely unknown. I guess it takes quite a devotion to be able to continue singing this way without caring about any acknowledgement at all.

Cheers,

Nick

Good street shot, Nick! Your photo does convey the idea of someone who doesn't seem to get too much of an audience.
Dave.
